Answer: 20 sq. units .
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A(0, -2), B(3,2), C(8,2), and D(5, -2) are the points for the parallelogram.
First we plot these points on coordinate plane, we get parallelogram ABCD.
By comparing the y-coordinate of B and C with A and D , we get
height = 2+2 = 4 units
Also by comparing the x coordinates of A and D, we get base = 5-0= 5 units
Area of parallelogram = Base x height
= 5 x 4 = 20 sq. units
Hence, the area of a parallelogram ABCD is 20 sq. units .
