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

1 answer

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

First, we identify the two points with the highest and lowest y-coordinates:
Point 1: (15, -10)
Point 2: (19, -6)

Next, we calculate the difference in the y-coordinates:
|-10 - (-6)| = |-10 + 6| = 4

Therefore, the length of the vertical side is 4 centimeters.
