A pool company is installing a parallelogram shaped swimming pool in a family back yard compose a rectangle to find the amount of area that the pool will take in in the yard

Answer 1

To find the area of the parallelogram shaped swimming pool, you can treat it as a rectangle with the same base and height as the parallelogram. The formula for finding the area of a rectangle is:

Area = base x height

Let's say the base of the parallelogram shaped pool is 10 feet and the height is 6 feet. Then, the area of the rectangle (and the pool) would be:

Area = 10 feet x 6 feet = 60 square feet

So, the parallelogram shaped swimming pool will take up 60 square feet of space in the family's backyard.
