Map of the plan of the city of Philadelphia. The city is largely composed of north south and east west streets intersected at right angles. The Delaware River is to the south.

Map of the plan of city of Washington. Streets are laid out in orderly, straight lines, running east west and north south. There are some diagonal streets. The Potomac and Eastern Branch of the Potomac form the southwest and southeast borders, respectively. At the intersection of diagonals are open spaces and the National Mall is clearly visible, running from the Potomac east to the center of the city.

This map, from 1792, is a plan for the city of Washington D.C. How is it related to Philadelphia? (5 points)


Both cities were planned by Charles L'Enfant.

Both cities were built at the intersection of major rivers.

Both cities were constructed in the late 1700s.

Both cities were planned using the grid system.

As I saw on the Internet the city map of Washington DC as published 1792, what I observed is that it has somewhat related to that of the city of Philadelphia. It can be implied from the map provided that both of these cities were built at the intersection of major rivers. Among these rivers are the Schuylkill River and the Delaware River in Philadelphia.

(From my account on Brainly as somebody else asked this question before)

@Smothx thanks

This is incorrect. I got it wrong on the test.

Is this correct?

The correct answer is: Both cities were planned using the grid system.

To determine the relation between the map of Philadelphia and the plan for the city of Washington D.C., we need to compare their characteristics.

In the description of the city of Philadelphia, it is mentioned that the city is largely composed of north-south and east-west streets intersected at right angles, forming a grid-like pattern. This indicates that Philadelphia was planned using the grid system.

Similarly, in the description of the plan for Washington D.C., it is mentioned that the streets are laid out in orderly, straight lines running east-west and north-south, with some diagonal streets intersecting. This also indicates the use of the grid system in planning the city.

Hence, the correct relation between the two maps is that both cities, Philadelphia and Washington D.C., were planned using the grid system.

It's D :) I got a 100% on the test
