1) Let’s determine the length of Africa from north to south along the 20th meridian:
33 degrees + 34 degrees = 67 degrees, in 1 degree 111 km therefore 111 * 67 = 7437 km
2) Let’s define the length of Africa from west to east along the 20th parallel:
at 1 degree, approximately 111 km
to find the parallel 111 * cos20 * 104.6 km
Then 104.6 * 52 = 5440 km
Excluding Madagascar = 104.6 * 52 = 2720 km
