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
12 square feet.
To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply the length by the width. In this case, the length is 3 feet (the difference in x-coordinates between points A and B, or C and D) and the width is 5 feet (the difference in y-coordinates between points A and D, or B and C).
Area = Length x Width
Area = 3 feet x 5 feet
Area = 15 square feet
Therefore, the area of rectangle ABCD is 15 square feet.
