Answer:
To find the area of the parallelogram ABCD, you can use the formula for the area of a parallelogram, which is given by the base multiplied by the height.
1. **Find the base:** The base can be the distance between points A and B or between points C and D. Let's use the distance between A and B.
\[ \text{Base} = \sqrt{(5-0)^2 + (0-0)^2} = \sqrt{25} = 5 \]
2. **Find the height:** The height can be the vertical distance between points B and C (or A and D).
\[ \text{Height} = |4-0| = 4 \]
3. **Calculate the area:**
\[ \text{Area} = \text{Base} \times \text{Height} = 5 \times 4 = 20 \]
So, the area of parallelogram ABCD is \(20\) square units.
