To find the area of the rectangle ABCD, we need to find the length of the base and the height.
The base of the rectangle is the distance between points A and B, which is given by:
base = 5 - 2 = 3 units
The height of the rectangle is the distance between points A and D, which is given by:
height = 5 - (-5) = 4 units
Therefore, the area of the rectangle ABCD is:
Area = base x height
Area = 3 units x 4 units
Area = 12 square units
Since 1 square mile is equivalent to 1 unit in this case, the area of the rectangle ABCD is 12 square miles.
Therefore, the area of rectangle ABCD is 12 square miles.
