Use the image to answer the question.
A coordinate plane shows the x-axis ranging from negative 9 to 9 in unit increments and the y-axis ranging from negative 11 to 11 in unit increments. Four plotted points upper A upper B upper C upper D are joined to form a rectangle. The coordinates of the plotted points are as follows: point upper A is left parenthesis 3 comma 4 right parenthesis, point upper B is left parenthesis negative 5 comma 4 right parenthesis, point upper C is left parenthesis negative 5 comma 8 right parenthesis, and point upper D is left parenthesis 3 comma 8 right parenthesis.

To find the area of rectangle ABCD, we need to find the length and width of the rectangle.
The length of the rectangle can be calculated as the difference between the x-coordinates of points A and B: 3 - (-5) = 8.
The width of the rectangle can be calculated as the difference between the y-coordinates of points A and B: 8 - 4 = 4.
Therefore, the area of rectangle ABCD is length x width = 8 x 4 = 32 square feet.
So, the correct response is: 32 square feet
