Question

in richards neighborhood, poplar street runs directly east to west. maple way runs from the southwest to the northeast. hanson avenue runs directly north to south. there is a new street called redwood road that runs parallel to poplar street. all of the streets are straight, and they continue beyond richards neighborhood in either direction. complete the paragraph. redwood road runs. it is to maple way and to hanson avenue.

Explanation:

• Parallel lines have the same direction. Since Redwood Road is parallel to Poplar Street which runs east - west, Redwood Road also runs east - west.
• Intersecting lines cross each other at some point. Maple Way runs southwest - northeast and Redwood Road runs east - west, so they are not parallel and thus intersect.
• Perpendicular lines form a right - angle (\(90^{\circ}\)) when they intersect. Hanson Avenue runs north - south and Redwood Road runs east - west. East - west and north - south directions are perpendicular to each other.

Answer:

Redwood Road runs east to west. It is intersecting to Maple Way and perpendicular to Hanson Avenue.
