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? base= 12 ft. Height 7 ft.
To find the area of the parallelogram-shaped swimming pool, we first need to find the area of the rectangle that contains the pool.
The formula for finding the area of a rectangle is:
Area = base x height
Plugging in the values:
Area = 12 ft x 7 ft
Area = 84 sq ft
Therefore, the parallelogram-shaped swimming pool will take up an area of 84 square feet in the family's back yard.
