    The response is absolutely perfect, no words, just an image of how the biggest farms in Alberta encompass almost 2 straddling states provinces. Perfect.

      I don’t want to be that guy (immediately is that guy) but they are provinces not states. I’m hoping making this point will speed up my citizenship application lol

      The diagram is dogshit though. Why present perimeter when talking about square area? But yeah, the AB guy is saying that there’s a farm that stretches from Lethbridge to Winnipeg wide, and again that distance high. No.

        Because he’s using a map tool that allows you to draw out a perimeter then calculate both the area contained in that perimeter, and then the actual perimeter itself. Both values are given at the same time like in this image. Here is one such tool that gives you both the area and perimeter at the same time: https://www.mapdevelopers.com/area_finder.php

        Why present perimeter when talking about square area?

        Because the dumbass made the claim that there are farms that are 1500 km * 1500 km, and the square perimeter lets you illustrate what 1500 km looks like relative to Alberta?
