Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for the area of a parallelogram

The area of a parallelogram is given by the formula \( A = base \times height \).

Step2: Identify the base and height from the diagram

From the diagram, the base of the parallelogram is \( 5 \) inches and the height is \( 2 \) inches.

Step3: Calculate the area

Substitute the values of base and height into the formula: \( A = 5 \times 2 \).
\( A = 10 \) square inches.

Answer:

\( 10 \)
