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

$\text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height}$

From the image, the base ($b$) of the parallelogram is 5.8 inches and the height ($h$) is 5 inches.

Substitute these values into the formula:

$\text{Area} = 5.8 \, \text{in} \times 5 \, \text{in}$

$\text{Area} = 29 \, \text{square inches}$

So, the area of the parallelogram is 29 square inches.
