Answer: The area is 40 [tex]cm^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a parallelogram, you need the formula:

[tex]A = bh[/tex]  

[tex]A =[/tex] area  

[tex]b =[/tex] base

[tex]h =[/tex] height

-Use the measurements of base and height for this formula:

[tex]A = 5[/tex] × [tex]8[/tex]

-Solve:

[tex]A = 5[/tex] × [tex]8[/tex]

[tex]A = 40[/tex]

So, the area of a parallelogram is 40 [tex]cm^2[/tex]
