Explanation: The area covered by 4 parallelogram-shaped paving stones can be visualized as a rectangle with sides equal to the length and width of the paving stones. If each paving stone has dimensions of 8 inches by 5 inches, then the area covered by 4 paving stones would be 8 inches x 5 inches x 4 = 160 square inches.
