The area of a parallelogram is calculated using the formula: Area = base x height. In this case, the base is 12 feet and the height is 7 inches (which is 7/12 feet).
Therefore, the area of the parallelogram-shaped swimming pool is:
Area = 12 feet x 7/12 feet = 7 square feet
So, the pool will take up 7 square feet in the yard.
