~A pool company is installing a parallelogram-shaped swimming pool in a family's back yard. Compose a rectangle to find the amount of area that the pool will take up in the yard. What is the area of the pool?~

To find the area of the parallelogram-shaped swimming pool, we need to calculate the area of a rectangle that has the same base and height as the pool.
Let's say the base of the parallelogram is 10 feet and the height is 5 feet. The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the base by the height.
Area = base x height
Area = 10 feet x 5 feet
Area = 50 square feet
Therefore, the area of the parallelogram-shaped swimming pool is 50 square feet.
