To find the area of a parallelogram, we use the formula:

\[
\text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]

From the image:
- It appears that \( AB \) is the base of the parallelogram.
- The dashed line perpendicular to \( AB \) from point \( D \) represents the height of the parallelogram.

If the lengths of \( AB \) (the base) and the height from \( D \) to \( AB \) are given, we can directly use them in the formula. If these values aren't provided in the question, you may need to check for additional data or measurements in other parts of your materials.

Could you provide the values of the base \( AB \) and the height, if available? 

Or do you need further clarification on how to approach this?
