Default Measurements in VBA/Excel

If I write a line of code like Activesheet.rectangles.add 50, 50, 50, 50

What is the system of measurement Excel is using to Draw the rectangle at
Location 50,50 and 50 wide by 50 high?

Inquiring minds want to know...

Is it pixels? Inches? Twips?

From the help file...
'---
"Left, Top...Single. The position (in points) of the upper-left corner of the ...
relative to the upper-left corner of the document."

"Width, Height...Single. The width and height of the ..., in points."
---

There are 72 points to the inch.
