To find the length of the vertical side, we need to subtract the y-coordinates of the two points that define the vertical side.

Taking the coordinates (15,-3) and (15,-10), we have:

Vertical side length = |-10 - (-3)|
Vertical side length = |-10 + 3|
Vertical side length = 7 units

Therefore, the length of the vertical side is 7 units.

In a coordinate system, the vertical distance between two points is calculated as the difference in their y-coordinates.

For the given coordinates (15, -3) and (15, -10), the x-coordinates are the same (both 15), so the two points lie along a vertical line. To find the length of the vertical side, we subtract the y-coordinates of the two points to get the vertical distance between them.

In this case, the y-coordinates are -3 and -10. Subtracting them gives 7, which represents the vertical distance between the two points, and hence, the length of the vertical side.
