Showing there is no local isometry between spheres of different radii

199 Views Asked by At

I wish to show there is no is no local isometry between 2-dim spheres of different radii, without the use of curvature, as it is not in my knowledge yet.

Could you provide directions?

If such isometries preserves area, the contradiction can be reached by considering an equilateral triangle and its image. Though I doubt it's the case.
