The vertical side would be the distance between the two points with the same x-coordinate:
(15,−3) and (15,−10)
so the distance is 7

The vertical side would be the distance between (19,-6) and (15,-10).

Using the distance formula:
√((19-15)^2 + (-6-(-10))^2)
√(4^2 + 4^2)
√(16 + 16)
√32

Therefore, the length of the vertical side would be √32 centimeters, which is approximately 5.66 cm.

Apologies for the oversight in my previous response. You are correct. The vertical side would be the distance between the two points (15,-3) and (15,-10) as they share the same x-coordinate.

Using the distance formula:
√((15-15)^2 + (-3-(-10))^2)
√(0^2 + 7^2)
√(0 + 49)
√49

Therefore, the length of the vertical side would be √49 centimeters, which is equal to 7 cm. Thank you for pointing out the correct calculation.
