Possible Answers:

20 square feet

160 square feet

26 square feet

40 square feet

32 square feet

Correct answer:

32 square feet

Explanation:

The area of a parallelogram can be found by multiplying the base times the height.  The height is the perpendicular distance between two bases.  In the above parallelogram, the base is 8 and its height is 4, giving the equation 8 x 4 = A.  The area is 32 square feet.
