As shown in the figure, the vertices a and B of rectangle ABCD are on the number axis, CD = 6, and the number corresponding to point a is - 1, then the number corresponding to point B is______ .

As shown in the figure, the vertices a and B of rectangle ABCD are on the number axis, CD = 6, and the number corresponding to point a is - 1, then the number corresponding to point B is______ .

∵ the quadrilateral ABCD is a rectangle, ∵ AB = CD = 6; so the number corresponding to point B is (- 1) + 6 = 5
