Answer:
Area = 8 sq cm
Explanation:
This shape is a parallelogram. Its like a rectangle that got tipped over. Area is:
base × height.
We don't know the base that is on the bottom of the image as it is shown. But if you turn it sideways, the 4 can be the base and the 2 is the height.
Area = b × h
= 4 × 2
= 8
The area is 8 sq cm.
