To find the measure of the rectangle's base, you can use the formula for the area of a rectangle:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{Base} \times \text{Height}
\]
In this case, the area is 40 square centimeters and the height is 8 centimeters. We can rearrange the formula to find the base:
\[
\text{Base} = \frac{\text{Area}}{\text{Height}} = \frac{40 \, \text{cm}^2}{8 \, \text{cm}} = 5 \, \text{cm}
\]
Therefore, the measure of the rectangle's base is **5 centimeters**.
