To find the area of a rectangle, we need to multiply the length by the width.
The length of the rectangle is the horizontal distance between the two points with the same y-coordinate. We can calculate it by subtracting the x-coordinates of the points: 5 - (-3) = 8 units.
The width of the rectangle is the vertical distance between the two points with the same x-coordinate. We can calculate it by subtracting the y-coordinates of the points: 1 - 5 = -4 units.
Note that the width is negative, but since we are interested in the magnitude of the width, we can consider it as a positive value.
The area of the rectangle is then: 8 units (length) * 4 units (width) = 32 square units.
Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 32 square units.
