Answer 1

Answer:

400 square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We can first solve this problem with each unit representing 1 centimeter, and then scale up at the very end. The shape that we have a parallelogram. The base is 8 cm, and the height is 2 cm. The formula for the area of a parallelogram is just $bh$, so the area of the parallelogram is 16 square centimeters. However, now we scale up. Since each centimeter correlates to 5 meters, each little box will correlate to 25 square meters. Therefore, $16 \cdot 25 = \boxed{400}$ square meters is our answer
