To find the area of the rectangle with the given vertices, it's important to confirm whether the points indeed form a rectangle. The vertices (0, 0), (2, 2), (9, -4), and (7, -6) need to be evaluated.

Calculating distances between points:
-
The distance between (0, 0) and (2, 2): \[ d = \sqrt{(2 - 0)^2 + (2 - 0)^2} = \sqrt{2^2 + 2^2} = \sqrt{8} \approx 2.83 \]
-
The distance between (2, 2) and (9, -4): \[ d = \sqrt{(9 - 2)^2 + (-4 - 2)^2} = \sqrt{7^2 + (-6)^2} = \sqrt{49 + 36} = \sqrt{85} \approx 9.22 \]
-
The distance between (9, -4) and (7, -6): \[ d = \sqrt{(7 - 9)^2 + (-6 + 4)^2} = \sqrt{(-2)^2 + (-2)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 4} = \sqrt{8} \approx 2.83 \]
-
The distance between (7, -6) and (0, 0): \[ d = \sqrt{(0 - 7)^2 + (0 + 6)^2} = \sqrt{(-7)^2 + 6^2} = \sqrt{49 + 36} = \sqrt{85} \approx 9.22 \]

Confirming rectangle:
To confirm that the shape formed by the points is a rectangle, we also need to check if the diagonals are equal and if adjacent sides are perpendicular.
- The diagonals can be calculated:
- Between (0,0) and (9,-4): \[ d = \sqrt{(9 - 0)^2 + (-4 - 0)^2} = \sqrt{9^2 + (-4)^2} = \sqrt{81 + 16} = \sqrt{97} \approx 9.85 \]
- Between (2,2) and (7,-6): \[ d = \sqrt{(7 - 2)^2 + (-6 - 2)^2} = \sqrt{5^2 + (-8)^2} = \sqrt{25 + 64} = \sqrt{89} \approx 9.43 \]
Since sides are not equal and the shape does not maintain perpendicular relationships dictated by rectangles, we conclude that these points don't form a proper rectangle.
- The diagonals can be calculated:

Area Calculation:
If we were, however, to compute the area of the shape (considering it forms a quadrilateral of some form), it wouldn't yield consistent results typical of rectangles.
Instead, let's find the approximate area with vertices reconfigured slightly if necessary.
- If the coordinates were reconsidered in rectangles, we'd assume opposite vertices consisting of aligned coordinates to better conclude valid rectangles.
- A proper rectangle with width \( w \) and height \( h = b-a \) calculates as: \[ \text{Area} = w \cdot h \]
However, given the confusion regarding the shape's alignment, employing the coordinates provided led to misjudgment.
Conclusion:
To match the apparent area estimates given the potential transformations needed in calculations, approximations toward the rectilinear bounds indicate that the closest area of quadrilateral constructs is 26.08.
Thus, in systemic re-evaluation, although misplacement appeared evident, the alignment bordered around rectilinear approximation suggests:
26.08 units временно being the closest area calculation out of the options given.
