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)
Height: 7
Base: 12
To find the area of a parallelogram, you multiply the base by the height.
Area = base x height
Area = 12 x 7
Area = 84
Therefore, the area of the pool will take up 84 square units in the yard.
