The length of the rectangle's sides can be found by calculating the difference in the x-coordinates for the length and the difference in the y-coordinates for the width.
Length = 5 - (-2) = 3 units
Width = 6 - 1 = 5 units
The area of the rectangle is:
Area = Length x Width
Area = 3 units x 5 units
Area = 15 square units
Since the area is in square units, the area of the rectangle is 15 square feet.
