Answer:

6, 7, 8, and 9 inches

Explanation:

The drawing has a scale of 1 inch = 2 yards

Lets make this PER YARD, so we have:

1/2 = 2/2

1/2 = 1

So, 1/2 inch = 1 yards

Now,

12 yards would be

1/2 * 12 = 6 inches

14 yards would be

1/2 * 14 = 7 inches

16 yards would be

1/2 * 16 = 8 inches

18 yards would be

1/2 * 18 = 9 inches

The sides of the quadrilateral on the drawing would be

6, 7, 8, and 9 inches
