rectangle $abcd$ is graphed in the coordinate plane. the following are the vertices of the rectangle: $a(2, -6)$, $b(5, -6)$, $c(5, -2)$, $d(2, -2)$.
what is the area of rectangle $abcd$?
square units
just put the numerical part of the answer!

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate length of AB

$AB = |5 - 2| = 3$

Step2: Calculate length of BC

$BC = |-2 - (-6)| = 4$

Step3: Compute area of rectangle

$\text{Area} = AB \times BC = 3 \times 4 = 12$

Answer:

12
