Discussion
State whether the following is true or false.
The straight-line distance between two points is a good estimate of the distance by road between them.
Answer: B
Roads bend around obstacles and follow gentler gradients, so the travelled distance commonly exceeds the direct one by a fifth or more. In broken country the difference can be much greater still, which is why a route is measured along its course rather than across it.
