To find the area of the playscape space, we need to calculate the length and width of the rectangle.

Length = 7 - (-5) = 7 + 5 = 12 units = 12 * 2 feet = 24 feet
Width = 6 - (-3) = 6 + 3 = 9 units = 9 * 2 feet = 18 feet

Area = Length * Width
Area = 24 feet * 18 feet
Area = 432 square feet

Therefore, the area of the playscape space is 432 square feet.

Correct response: 432 Feet
