Answer:
B) 161.5 in²
Explanation:
We can separate the kite figure into two triangles, by cutting it vertically.
So, we have two triangles with the area of 1/2*(6+13)*8.5.
Since there is two of them, the equation of the total area is 2*1/2*(6+13)*8.5.
Simplify: 1*19*8.5 (2 and 1/2 cancel out).
Multiply: 19*8.5 = 161.5 in²
