Given the bottom left coordinates of a square and the side length of the square, how do you find out the top right coordinates of the square?

Example: $(-10,-2)$ is the bottom left coordinates of the square. And the side length of the square is $7$. The top right coordinates is $(-3,5)$. How?

Add $7$ to each coordinate, $(-10+7,-2+7)=(-3,5)$.

I am assuming your are asking for some kind of general formula. So, here we go, let's assume that $(x_a,y_a)$ is the below left corner of your square and length of side is L, then the formula for co-ordinate of above right corner will be,

$=({x_a}+L,{y_a}+L)$.

Here, we have to assume that the sides of the square is parrallel to x and y axis.
