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 .
