Answer:

A = 0.44 [m^2]

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we must remember that pressure is defined as the relationship between Force and area, so we have the following equation:

P = F/A

where:

P = pressure = 180 [pa]

F = force = 80 [N]

A = area [m^2]

Now replacing and solving:

180 = 80/A

A = 80/180

A = 0.44 [m^2]
