[__]cm (power of 2)
The area of the quadrilateral can be calculated by multiplying the base (10 cm) by the height (8 cm) and dividing by 2, as it is a parallelogram.
Area = (base x height) / 2
Area = (10 cm x 8 cm) / 2
Area = 80 cm2 / 2
Area = 40 cm2
Therefore, the area of the quadrilateral is 40 cm2.
