Your answer would be 50 cm².

This is because the formula for finding the area of a kite is (p × q)/2, where p and q represent the diagonals of the kite.

This means we need to do (10 × 10)/2, as 5 + 5 = 10 so that is the total of that diagonal, and we are told that the total of the vertical diagonal is 10. (10 × 10)/2 = 100/2 = 50.

I hope this helps!

The area of kites is the product of the diagonals, divided by 2:

The diagonals are (2 + 8) and (5 + 5), or 10 and 10.

The area, then, is 10 * 10/2 = 50 cm squared.
