49 square feet
84 square feet
To find the area of a parallelogram, you would use the formula Area = base x height. In this case, if we consider the base of the parallelogram to be 12 feet and the height to be 7 feet, the area of the parallelogram-shaped swimming pool would be 12 x 7 = 84 square feet.
Therefore, the correct answer is 84 square feet.
