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)
The length of the vertical sides can be found by subtracting the y-coordinates of the corresponding endpoints.
The vertical sides are:
- (7, -3) to (7, -8) with a length of |-3 - (-8)| = 5 cm
- (11, -4) to (11, -9) with a length of |-4 - (-9)| = 5 cm
Therefore, the length of the vertical sides of the quadrilateral is 5 cm.
To find the length of the vertical sides of the quadrilateral, we need to calculate the difference in the y-coordinates of the given points.
The first pair of points (7, -3) and (7, -8) have the same x-coordinate, which means they lie on a vertical line. The difference in the y-coordinates is 5 cm.
The second pair of points (11, -4) and (11, -9) also have the same x-coordinate, so they are on a vertical line. The difference in the y-coordinates is 5 cm as well.
Therefore, the length of the vertical sides of the quadrilateral is 5 cm.
To find the length of the vertical sides of the quadrilateral, we need to calculate the difference in y-coordinates between the given points.
The given coordinates are (7,−3), (7,−8), (11,−4), and (11,−9).
To find the length of the vertical side between (7,−3) and (7,−8), we subtract the y-coordinates: −8-(-3) = -8+3 = -5. So, the length of the first vertical side is 5 cm.
Similarly, to find the length of the vertical side between (11,−4) and (11,−9), we subtract the y-coordinates: −9-(-4) = -9+4 = -5. So, the length of the second vertical side is also 5 cm.
Hence, the length of the vertical sides of the quadrilateral is 5 cm.
