Question

Find the area of this kite

Answer 1

For this case we have that the area of the kite is given by the area of two triangles, the triangles share the same base of 2 + 2 = 4. One of the triangles has height of 6 and the other has height of 7.

So, the total area is given by:

`A = \frac {1} {2} * 4 * 6 + \frac {1} {2} * 4 * 7\\A = \frac {1} {2} 24+ \frac {1} {2} 28\\A = 12 + 14\\A = 26`

So, the kite area is 26
