What is the area of rectangle ABCD?

  21 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides of the rectangle are aligned with the coordinate grid, so we can easily find its dimensions.

AB lies on the line y = -2, so the horizontal extent is the difference in x-values:

  6 - 3 = 3

BC lies on the line x = 6, so the vertical extent is the difference in y-values:

  5 -(-2) = 7

The area is the product of these two dimensions:

  A = LW = (7)(3) = 21 . . . . square units

The area of the rectangle is 21 square units.
