To find the area of the parallelogram-shaped pool, we need to first calculate the area of the parallelogram.
The area of a parallelogram is calculated by multiplying the base by the height. Since the height is not given in feet like the base, we need to convert it.
7 inches is equal to 0.583333 feet (since 1 foot = 12 inches).
So, the area of the parallelogram pool can be calculated as:
Area = base x height
Area = 12 feet x 0.583333 feet
Area = 7 feet
Therefore, the area of the parallelogram-shaped pool is 7 square feet.
Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration of a parallelogram shows the following dimensions: The base is 12 feet. The perpendicular height from the top left vertex to the base is 7 inches. The height is drawn as a dashed line.
A pool company is installing a parallelogram-shaped swimming pool in a family’s back yard. Compose a rectangle to find the amount of area that the pool will take up in the yard. What is the area of the pool?
