To find the area of a parallelogram-shaped swimming pool, you can use the formula for the area of a parallelogram:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]
In this case, if we consider the dimensions given as 7 ft (height) and 12 ft (base), we can simply substitute these values into the formula:
\[
\text{Area} = 12 \, \text{ft} \times 7 \, \text{ft} = 84 \, \text{square feet}
\]
Thus, the area of the pool will be **84 square feet**.

\text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height}
