The coordinates given create a quadrilateral where the longest sides are between the points (9,-2) and (9,-11) and between the points (15,-4) and (15,-13).
Using the distance formula:
Distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
For the first longest side:
Distance = √((9 - 9)^2 + (-11 - (-2))^2)
Distance = √(0^2 + (-9)^2)
Distance = √(0 + 81)
Distance = √81
Distance = 9 cm
For the second longest side:
Distance = √((15 - 15)^2 + (-13 - (-4))^2)
Distance = √(0 + (-9)^2)
Distance = √81
Distance = 9 cm
Therefore, the length of each of the longest sides of the quadrilateral is 9 cm.
So, the correct answer is 9 cm.
