You have to read between the lines.
They've already told you about the tail and the anti-tail. Right there you should think:
"Anti tail? what are they talking about? ... Oh, teh opposite of a tail ... A tail on the opposite side. ... hmmm ... ... Ahh, hehe, yeah, anti-tail, hehe, clever ... ... hmm I wonder if mine is bigger..."
And right there you get the answer. "It has a magnitude of 6". So, the answer to your original question is, clearly, "Inches".
You're welcome.
