Answer:


\text{area} = 800 \text{ ft}^2

Explanation:

The formula for the area of the parallelogram is:


\text{area} = \text{base} * \text{height}

Base is 40 feet and height is 20 feet. You were also given side lengths, but you don't need that info to solve this.

Substitute formula with values:


\text{area} = 40 \text{ ft} * 20 \text{ ft}\\\text{area} = 800 \text{ ft}^2
