The area of a kite is half the product of the diagonals.

Area = ½(d1 x d2)

Plug in the values of the diagonals.

Area = ½(7.8 * 6)

Multiply, and you should get -

Area = 23.4 ft²

Answer: Option 'A' is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Diagonals of kite are as follows:

7.8 ft and 6 ft

As we know the formula for "Area of kite":

Area of kite is given by


(1)/(2)* d_1* d_2\\\\=(1)/(2)* 7.8* 6\\\\=3* 7.8\\\\=23.\ ft^2

Hence, Option 'A' is correct.
