Consider the following statements about developments.

1. Every line on a development is a true length   2. A sphere can be developed exactly by fine enough subdivision   3. A cone's sector is struck with the slant height as radius

  • A.1 and 2 only are correct
  • B.1 and 3 only are correct
  • C.1, 2 and 3 are all correct statements about developments
  • D.2 and 3 only are correct

Answer: B

Correct answer: 1 and 3 only are correct

Statements 1 and 3 are correct: a development shows true lengths throughout, and a cone’s sector is struck with the slant height. Statement 2 is the one thing subdivision cannot achieve - a sphere has double curvature and no amount of refinement makes an approximation exact, which is why zone and lune methods are described as approximations.
