there are two reasons by which u can say that north south extent is greater than east west extent
METHOD 1: as latitudes are parallel so they are at equi distance and longitdes are non parallel so they are not. thats why the latitudes i.e. north south extent is greater than longitudes i.e. east west extent.
METHOD 2: (mathematically)
latitudinal extent=29 degrees
longitudinal extent=29 degrees
distance between each latitude=111km
distance between each longitude=100km
therefore, latitudinal extent in kms=111 X 29 = 3219 km
longitudinal extent in kms=100 X 29 = 2900 km
as 32192900 i.e. latitudinal extent longitudinal extent
therefore, the north south extent is greater than east west extent
