Rectangle ABCD has vertices point A (−5, 1), point B (−2, 1), point C (−2, 6), and point D (−5, 6). Find the area of the rectangle in square feet.(1 point)The area of rectangle ABCD is square feet.
To find the area of a rectangle, we use the formula:
Area = Length x Width
First, we need to find the length and width of the rectangle.
The length of the rectangle is the difference between the x-coordinates of points A and B:
Length = |-5 - (-2)| = 3 units
The width of the rectangle is the difference between the y-coordinates of points A and C:
Width = |1 - 6| = 5 units
Now, we can calculate the area:
Area = 3 units x 5 units = 15 square units
Since the units are not specified in the question, we cannot provide the area in square feet.
