The base of each of the polar triangles is divided into equal intervals of longitude; hence areas of equal difference of longitude are mapped by triangles that have equal bases and the same altitude. The parallels are mapped by nonequidistant parallel lines. To determine the correct intervals between parallels, observe that the area of a zone between the North Pole and a parallel of latitude, L, having a colatitude 0 is
