a lil help for this q plz...
To measure the distance from 70N 20W to 70N 150E on a polar stereographic, use the latitude scale around approximately:
A.
70°N.
B.
80°N.
C.
85°N.
D.
90°N.
ans-B 80 N
A.
70°N.
B.
80°N.
C.
85°N.
D.

Since polar stereographic projection distance scale changes with latitude, then simply take the scale at the average latitude of the track drawn.
Because you flew from 20W to 150E (170 degrees of longitude change), then you must have flown very close to the N Pole.
Average latitude was therefore around 80N.

geometrically the highest latitude comes out to be around 87N
