To find the area of a parallelogram, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]
In your case, the width (base) of the pool is 12 ft, and the height is 7 ft. Plugging these values into the formula gives:
\[
\text{Area} = 12 \, \text{ft} \times 7 \, \text{ft} = 84 \, \text{square feet}
\]
Therefore, the area of the pool is **84 square feet**.
\[
\text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]
In your case, the width (base) of the pool is 12 ft, and the height is 7 ft. Plugging these values into the formula gives:
\[
\text{Area} = 12 \, \text{ft} \times 7 \, \text{ft} = 84 \, \text{square feet}
\]
Therefore, the area of the pool is **84 square feet**.
