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? (1 point) There’s only two lengths 12 ft. and 7 ft.
To find the area of the parallelogram-shaped swimming pool, we need to use the formula for the area of a parallelogram, which is base x height. In this case, the two lengths given, 12 ft. and 7 ft., can be used as the base and height of the parallelogram-shaped pool.
Area = base x height
Area = 12 ft x 7 ft
Area = 84 square feet
Therefore, the area of the pool will take up 84 square feet in the family's back yard.
