The area of the quadrilateral is 80 in. squared.
To find the area, we can first find the height of the parallelogram using the given perpendicular line of 8 inches. Then, we can use the formula for the area of a parallelogram: base x height.
Base = 10 inches
Height = 8 inches
Area = 10 x 8 = 80 in. squared
