Question

Given the coordinates (15,-3), (19,-6)
, and (15,-10). What would be the length of the vertical side in centimeters

Answer 1

To find the length of the vertical side, we need to find the difference in the y-coordinates of the two points.

First, let's identify the points with the largest and smallest y-coordinates:
(15, -3)
(19, -6)
(15, -10)

From these points, the points with the largest and smallest y-coordinates are:
(15, -10) and (15, -3)

Now, we find the difference in the y-coordinates:
Difference = |-10 - (-3)| = |-10 + 3| = |-7| = 7

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