The two longest sides of the quadrilateral are the segments from (9,−2) to (9,−11) and from (9,−11) to (15,−13).
The length of the segment from (9,−2) to (9,−11) can be calculated using the distance formula:
√[ (15-9)^2 + (-13 - (-11))^2]
= √[ (6)^2 + (-2)^2]
= √[ 36 + 4]
= √40
≈ 6.32 cm
The length of the segment from (9,−11) to (15,−13) can be calculated using the distance formula:
√[ (15-9)^2 + (-13 - (-11))^2]
= √[ 6^2 + (-2)^2]
= √[ 36 + 4]
= √40
≈ 6.32 cm
Therefore, the length of each of the two longest sides of the quadrilateral is approximately 6.32 cm.
