Given the coordinates (7, −3), (7, −8), (11, −4), and (11, —9), what is the length

Question

of the vertical sides of the quadrilateral, in cm? (1 point)

Answer 1

The vertical sides are the sides of the quadrilateral that are parallel to the y-axis.

For the coordinates (7, −3) and (7, −8), the vertical side is 5 cm (−8 - (−3) = -5).

For the coordinates (11, −4) and (11, −9), the vertical side is 5 cm (−9 - (−4) = -5).

Therefore, the vertical sides of the quadrilateral are each 5 cm long.
