Question

area = $square$ square units

Explanation:

Step1: Find length of top side

The coordinates of T are $(-7, -1)$ and S are $(6, -1)$. Calculate the distance:
$TS = |6 - (-7)| = 13$

Step2: Find length of vertical side

The coordinates of T are $(-7, -1)$ and U are $(-7, -10)$. Calculate the distance:
$TU = |-10 - (-1)| = 9$

Step3: Calculate area of rectangle

Use area formula $A = \text{length} \times \text{width}$:
$A = 13 \times 9$

Answer:

117 square units
