The area of the rhombus is 40 square feet.

To see why, Draw a rectangle encompassing the rhombus with sides parallel to the rhombus' diagonals. The rectangle has dimensions 10 ft X 8 ft = 80 square ft. Using the diagonals as dividers, each quarter of the rectangle is divided into 2 by one of the rhombus' sides. Thus the area of the rhombus is exactly half that of the encompassing rectangle.
