Seven units long. The distance between 2 sides, in this example is 6, and - 1. The distance between 6 and - 1 is 7, so when you add units, you get 7 units.

Stacy Sims · Answer 2

If you plug these coordinates into a graphing calculator/software, you will see a square shape. Each of the sides should equal approximately 7 units
