One of the diameters of the circle circumscribing the rectangle

ABCD

4y = x + 7.

A

and

B

are the points

\left( { - 3,4} \right)

and

\left( {5,4} \right)

respectively, then the area of the rectangle is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

32 sq. units

Option C (32 sq. units) is correct because it is derived from finding the center of the circle, the length of the rectangle, and the perpendicular distance to determine the width.
