By the definition length is positive. It may be regarded as the magnitude of a vector. Here in this case say minus defines the direction, and 1 is the magnitude then the answer is 1.

Hi Ashley, it's 1cm if applied to an object with 3 or more dimensions, and the minus sign merely indicates the direction relative to the point of origin (or other reference point) that's used.

i tried to see but as i counted backwards to minus ten mm i fell off the end of the ruler and it fell on the floor and my two year old son picked it up and ran off with it when i caught him the ruler was covered in dribble so i wondered if it was worth carrying on

Minus one centimetre? Should this be under philosopy rather than mathematics? I'm not sure can actually visualise a minus distance.

no such unit in the physical world it is a mathematical construct ( but you knew that )
DOESN'T ANYBODY READ - OR DO THEY JUST AVOID NEGATIVES ( LOL )
or maybe i should have said 1 cm less than before ( now i'm really lol )
