Despite how it appears on the map, Colorado is not rectangular: it's east and west borders are determined by lines of longitude which converge at the north pole (they get closer to each other as they go farther north). Thus, Colorado's northern border must be shorter in length than its southern border. But I have not been able to find anything to say exactly how much shorter (and I must admit, I do not have the math skills to figure it out myself). Does anyone know about this?
