Answer:

  80 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

When side length and apothem of a regular polygon are given, the applicable area formula is ...

  A = 1/2Pa

where P is the perimeter of the polygon, and 'a' is its apothem.

__

The perimeter of a regular 8-sided polygon will be 8 times the side length, so the area is ...

  A = 1/2(8×4 in)(5 in) = 80 in²
