The formula to calculate the area of a parallelogram is base x height. In this case, the base is the top side of the parallelogram which is 10 centimeters and the height is the perpendicular line from the top left vertex to the bottom side which is 8 centimeters.
Therefore, the area of the quadrilateral is 10 cm x 8 cm = 80 cm2.
