Answer:

  7 units

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the distance between A(-4, -5) and D(3, -5).

Distance from coordinates

The given coordinates are the end points of a horizontal line segment. Its length is the difference of the x-coordinates:

  length = 3 -(-4) = 3+4 = 7

The length of the rectangle is 7 units.

Additional comment

The width of the rectangle is AB = 3 -(-5) = 8 units. This is the difference of the y-coordinates of the vertical line segment end points.
