What is the distance from Greenville to Sidon?

Distances on a map come from measuring the distance between two places on the map and then converting that measurement using the map’s scale. The map’s scale tells you how many miles correspond to a given length on the map. When you apply that conversion to the Greenville–Sidon line, the resulting real-world distance is 36 miles. That’s why this choice is the one that matches the map’s scale and the measured line. If the measured map distance were longer or the scale different, you’d get the other numbers, but with this map setup the distance aligns with 36 miles.
