The area of the parallelogram is #9.1848#.

Area of a parallelogram whose unequal sides are #a# and #b# and angle between them is #theta# is given by #axxbxxsintheta#.

As the given parallelogram has sides #3# and #8# and angle between them is #7pi/8#

the area of the parallelogram is #3xx8xxsin((7pi)/8)#

or #3xx8xx0.3827=9.1848#
