Problem Analysis:
The task involves using intermediate directions (NW, NE, SW, SE) and cardinal directions (N, S, E, W) to describe the locations of various features in Acorn Park. The map provides a visual layout of the park, and we need to determine the relative positions of different landmarks.
Step-by-Step Solution:
####
Part 1: Intermediate Directions
First, let's identify the intermediate directions:
-
NW (Northwest): Between North and West.
-
NE (Northeast): Between North and East.

Northwest.
- NE is
Northeast.
- SW is
Southwest.
- SE is
Southeast.
