A surveyor is trying to verify, from 2-D measurements, that he lives on the surface of a sphere whose radius is R. He measures the circumference C and area A of a circle of radius (on the surface) r = R. By considering the fractional difference in the values of C and A between the spherical and a flat surface, show that deviations from flatness are more easily detected by measuring circumferences rather than areas.
