Question

What is the area of the kite?

Answer 1

Answer: third option

Explanation:

You must apply the following formula for calculate the area of a kite:

`A=(d_1*d_2)/(2)`

Where
`d_1` is the lenght of a diagonal of the kite and
`d_2` is the lenght of the other diagonal.

As you can see in the the figure:

`d_1=8ft+16ft=24ft\\d_2=5ft+5ft=10ft`

Therefore, when you substitute values, you obtain the following result:

`A=((24ft)(10ft)/(2)=120ft^2`
