A pool company is installing a parallelogram shaped swimming pool in a family back yard compose a rectangle to find the amount of area that the pool will take in in the yard
To find the area of the parallelogram shaped swimming pool, you can treat it as a rectangle with the same base and height as the parallelogram. The formula for finding the area of a rectangle is:
Area = base x height
Let's say the base of the parallelogram shaped pool is 10 feet and the height is 6 feet. Then, the area of the rectangle (and the pool) would be:
Area = 10 feet x 6 feet = 60 square feet
So, the parallelogram shaped swimming pool will take up 60 square feet of space in the family's backyard.
