check the picture below. You can pretty much count the units off the grid.

we are given

ABCD is a square

whose coordinates are A (-3,7), B (2,7) C (2,2) and D (-3,2)

Firstly , we will find length of sides

we can use distance formula


d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)

where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are two points

For AB:

A (-3,7), B (2,7)


AB=√((7-7)^2+(2+3)^2)


AB=5

we know that

area of square = side*side

so, we can find area


Area=AB^2


Area=5*5


Area=25.............Answer
