Answer:

The length is 2 units longer than the width

Explanation:

Let


A(-2, 10), B(5, 10), C(5, 1), D(-2, 1)

Using a graphing tool

Plot the vertices of the rectangle

See the attached figure

we know that

AD=BC ------> the length

AB=DC ------> the width

Find the length


L=10-1=9\ units

Find the width


W=5-(-2)=7\ units

Find the difference


9\ units-7\ units=2\ units

therefore

The length is 2 units longer than the width
