Use the image to answer the question.
A coordinate plane shows a square A B C D plotted in the first quadrant. The x axis and y axis range from negative 2 to 10. A square A B C D is plotted with points A at left parenthesis 2 comma 1 right parenthesis, B at left parenthesis 2 comma 6 right parenthesis, C at left parenthesis 7 comma 6 right parenthesis, and D at left parenthesis 7 comma 1 right parenthesis. The points are connected by solid lines and the area of the square is shaded.

To calculate the area of the square table, we need to find the length of one side of the square and then square it.
From the coordinates given, we can see that the side length of the square is 5 units (from point A to point B).
The area of the square is length x width = 5 x 5 = 25 ft^2.
Therefore, the area of the table is 25 ft^2.
Answer: 25 ft^2
