Given the coordinates (7, -3), (7, -8), (11, -4 and (11, -9), what is the length of the vertical sides of the quadrilateral, in cm? (1 point)

Answer 1

The vertical sides are the sides with the same x-coordinate, which are (7, -3) to (7, -8) and (11, -4) to (11, -9).

To find the length of the side between (7, -3) and (7, -8), we subtract the y-coordinates:

|-3 - (-8)| = 5

So, the length of the vertical side between (7, -3) and (7, -8) is 5 cm.

To find the length of the side between (11, -4) and (11, -9), we also subtract the y-coordinates:

|-4 - (-9)| = 5

So, the length of the vertical side between (11, -4) and (11, -9) is 5 cm.
