Draw this. Make an altitude x.
The sin 30=x/7
x=3.5
area is length*altitude=10*3.5=35 sq units

The area of a parallelogram is the product of its two adjacent sides measures and the sine of the concluded angle


          area of the parallelogram = sin(30°)*7*10 = %281%2F2%29%2A7%2A10 = 7*5 = 35 square units.    ANSWER
