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?

Answer 1

The vertical sides are the sides that change in the y-coordinate while the x-coordinate remains constant.

The vertical sides of the quadrilateral are:

1. (7, -3) to (7, -8) = 8 - (-3) = 11 cm
2. (11, -4) to (11, -9) = 9 - (-4) = 13 cm

Therefore, the length of the vertical sides of the quadrilateral are 11 cm and 13 cm.
