Answer:
112 in²
Explanation:
width of the brick = (2 - - 5) = 7 this is the distance between the vertices in the y direction
length of the brick = (8 - -8) = 16 this is the distance between the vertices in the x direction
Area = length x width= 16 x 7 = 112 in²
Note: it helps if you graph these points, then you can see the problem better
