I drew out each point and arrive at the conclusion that the longest side is equal to 4 and the shorter side to 3
so that means the answer is 12

Answer:
Area of the rectangle is 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the vertices of the rectangle to be (−6, 3) , (−3, 6) , (1, 2) , and (−2, −1)
Let the the vertices be at point ABCD respectively
so that A(-6, 3) B(-3,6) C(1,2) D(-2 -1)
To find the area, we need to first find the length and height of the rectangle
We let AB to be the length of the rectangle and BC be the height of the triangle. so first, we will find the distance between the two points AB
A(-6, 3) B(-3,6)
Using the distance formula
|AB| = √([tex]x_{2}[/tex] - [tex]x_{1}[/tex])² + ([tex]y_{2}[/tex] - [tex]y_{1}[/tex])²
=√(-3+6)² + (6-3)²
=√(3)² + (3)²
= √(9+9)
=√18
=√(9 ×2)
=√9 × √2
=3√2
|AB| = 3√2
The length of the rectangle is 3√2
We will now proceed to find the height of the rectangle which is the distance between point the two point BC
B(-3,6) C(1,2)
Using the distance formula;
|BC |= √([tex]x_{2}[/tex] - [tex]x_{1}[/tex])² + ([tex]y_{2}[/tex] - [tex]y_{1}[/tex])²
=√(1+3)² + (2-4)²
=√4² + 4²
= √(16 + 16)
=√32
=√(16 × 2)
=√16 × √2
=4√2
|BC| = 4√2
Therefore, the height of the triangle is 4√2
Area of rectangle = l × h
= |AB| . |BC|
= 3√2 × 4√2
=12 (2)
=24
Therefore area of the rectangle is 24
