Respuesta :
The shape that best describes forest park is parallelogram. The correct answer is Option C).
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1 :
The two streets Oak and Maple are parallel.
The two streets Jefferson and Washington are parallel.
step 2 :
These parallel lines are intersecting each other.
The properties of intersection of parallel lines:
- In the figure the lines are not shown as right angle, so they are not perpendicular (angle ≠ 90° and the lines have same slope)
- The alternate interior angles are equal.
step 3 :
The properties of parallelogram are:
- Opposite sides are parallel with same slopes.
- Opposite angles are congruent (same).
step 4 :
- The parallel lines of the streets make the opposite sides of the parallelogram.
- The interior angles of parallel lines are the opposite angles of the parallelogram.
Thus, the shape forest park best describes parallelogram.
