Answer:

20 m.

Explanation:

Formula for rhombus: base x height.

Base: 8

Height: 2.5

2.5 x 8 = 20.

Tip: Usually when finding the area of a rhombus there is another length (in this scenario, 4) to try to fool or trick you. It's the length of the slanted side to the right. A rhombus is a square or rectangle when you take the triangle and piece it into the slanted area, so even though it looks like a complicated parallelogram it really isn't.

Hope this helped ^^
