The area \( A \) of a parallelogram can be calculated using the formula:
\[
A = \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]
Given the base is 11 kilometers and the height is 8 kilometers, we can substitute these values into the formula:
\[
A = 11 \, \text{km} \times 8 \, \text{km} = 88 \, \text{km}^2
\]
Therefore, the area of the parallelogram is \( 88 \) square kilometers.
