To find the area of the rectangle formed by the points A (-3, -1), B (-2, -4), C (4, -2), and D (3, 1), we first need to identify the lengths of the sides of the rectangle by calculating the distances between the relevant points.
Since the shape formed by these points appears to be a rectangle, we can identify two pairs of points with the same x-coordinates and the same y-coordinates.
However, it seems that the points may not necessarily align perfectly to form a rectangle. Let's visualize the points:
- A: (-3, -1)
- B: (-2, -4)
- C: (4, -2)
- D: (3, 1)
**Next, we calculate the lengths of the sides:**
1. The width of the rectangle can be estimated by looking at the x-coordinates:
- The farthest left point is A at x = -3, and the farthest right point is C at x = 4.
- Width = x-coordinate of C - x-coordinate of A = 4 - (-3) = 4 + 3 = 7 units.
2. The height of the rectangle can be estimated by looking at the y-coordinates:
- The farthest bottom point is B at y = -4, and the farthest top point is D at y = 1.
- Height = y-coordinate of D - y-coordinate of B = 1 - (-4) = 1 + 4 = 5 units.
Now, we can calculate the area of the rectangle:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{Width} \times \text{Height} = 7 \text{ units} \times 5 \text{ units} = 35 \text{ units}^2.
\]
However, since your provided options don't match my calculations, I must investigate my results based on the figures.
Let's re-evaluate the vertices to ensure accuracy in determining how the rectangle is meant to align.
If we take the opposite corners as D(3,1) and A(-3,-1), we get:
- The width = 3 - (-3) = 3 + 3 = 6 units.
- The height = 1 - (-1) = 1 + 1 = 2 units.
\[
\text{Area} = 6 \times 2 = 12 \text{ units}^2.
\]
Even then, no matching option appears for the rectangle areas.
**Final conclusion: Based on understanding (after rechecking), there is no direct confluence for identifier rectangle geometry—confirming there’s room for clearer specifications in exact arrangements, and area measures remain ambiguous vis-a-vis your options.**
If additional details regarding the rectangle alignment were specified (which points distinctly define the corners of the rectangle), it would cater directly to the selections listed.
Nonetheless, based on typical approaches, the final area calculation presented would remain undefined within stated outcomes without confirmed source parameters for vertices positioning.
