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?

$$ cm

1 answer

The vertical sides of the quadrilateral are the sides with the same x-coordinate.

The two vertical sides are:
- (7,−3) and (7,−8): This has a vertical distance of 8 - 3 = 5 cm.
- (11,−4) and (11,−9): This has a vertical distance of 9 - 4 = 5 cm.

Therefore, the length of the vertical sides of the quadrilateral is 5 cm.
