The answer is 20 ft^2
First find out the area of the two triangles at the end of the parallelogram. You do 2*4 and divide it by two to get 4. Next, multiply by 2, because there are two triangles. Finally, find out the area of the rectangle in the middle by subtracting two from five and multiplying that by four. Then all you need to do is add your values together and you get 20.
