The height of the rectangle can be found by subtracting the y-coordinates of points A and B:
Height = 6 - 1 = 5 feet
The base of the rectangle can be found by subtracting the x-coordinates of points A and D:
Base = -2 - (-5) = 3 feet
Area = Base x Height
Area = 3 x 5
Area = 15 square feet
Therefore, the area of rectangle ABCD is 15 square feet.
