Let's say the parallelogram-shaped pool has a base length of 20 feet and a height of 10 feet. This means the pool will take up a rectangle with a length of 20 feet (base) and a width of 10 feet (height).
To find the area of the pool, we use the formula for the area of a rectangle: area = length x width.
Area = 20 feet x 10 feet
Area = 200 square feet
Therefore, the parallelogram-shaped pool will take up an area of 200 square feet in the family's back yard.
