Which property does an azimuthal projection preserve?

  • A.Distance between every pair of points
  • B.Direction from the central point
  • C.Area everywhere on the map
  • D.Shape across the whole hemisphere

Answer: B

Bearings measured from the centre of an azimuthal projection are correct to anywhere on the map, which is what makes it useful for radio, aviation and polar work. Other properties depend on which azimuthal variant is used.
