Based only on the statement, make a conclusion about the rows of crops, one edge of the plot, or both edges of the plot of farmland. Explain. The rows of crops are each perpendicular to one edge of the plot. The \( \square \) are \( \square \) each other because they are all \( \square \) opposite edges rows of crops

To analyze the statement about the plot of farmland, let's break it down step by step. ### Known Conditions: 1. The rows of crops are each perpendicular to one edge of the plot. ### Conclusion: From the information given, we can conclude the following: - If the rows of crops are perpendicular to one edge of the plot, it means that the rows of crops form right angles (90 degrees) with that edge. - Since the rows are perpendicular to one edge, they must be parallel to the opposite edge of the plot. This is because in a rectangle (or any quadrilateral with parallel sides), if one set of lines (the rows of crops) is perpendicular to one edge, then it must be parallel to the edge that is opposite to it. ### Explanation: - The rows of crops are **parallel to each other** because they are all aligned in the same direction (perpendicular to one edge). - The **opposite edges** of the plot are also **parallel to each other** because they are defined as the edges that do not meet and are equidistant from each other. ### Final Statement: The rows of crops are **parallel to each other** because they are all **perpendicular to one edge of the plot**, and the **opposite edges** of the plot are **parallel to each other**. This conclusion follows logically from the properties of parallel and perpendicular lines in geometry.
