To find the area covered by 4 paving stones, we need to first find the area of one paving stone and then multiply by 4.
Let's assume the parallelogram-shaped paving stones have dimensions of 4 inches by 10 inches.
The area of one paving stone is:
Area = length x width
Area = 4 inches x 10 inches
Area = 40 square inches
Since there are 4 paving stones, the total area covered by the 4 paving stones would be:
Total area = 40 square inches x 4 = 160 square inches
Therefore, the correct answer is B. 160 square inches.
