To find the area of the rectangle, we need to calculate the length and width of the rectangle.
Length:
AB = |-2 - (-5)| = 3 units
Width:
BC = |6 - 1| = 5 units
Area = length x width = 3 x 5 = 15 square units
Since the question asks for the area in square feet, we need to know the scale to convert the units into feet. Without knowing the scale, we cannot determine the area in square feet.
Rectangle ABCD has vertices point A (−5, 1), point B (−2, 1), point
C (-2, 6), and point D (−5, 6). Find the area of the rectangle in square feet.
