Question

Find the area of the kite

Answer 1

------------------------------------
Area of the Top Triangle
------------------------------------
1/2 x base x height
= 1/2 x 6 x 3
= 9 m²

------------------------------------
Area of Bottom Triangle
------------------------------------
Area of the bottom triangle = area of the top triangle
Area of the bottom triangle = 9m²

------------------------------------
Total Area
------------------------------------
9m² + 9m² = 18m²

------------------------------------
Answer: 18m² (Answer A)
------------------------------------

Answer 2

Area of kite is:

a. 18 m²

Explanation:

If d1 and d2 are the length of the diagonals of the rhombus

Then, area of rhombus is given by:

A=
`(1)/(2)d1d2`

The kite is in the shape of rhombus with

d1=2+4=6 m

and d2=3+3=6 m

Hence, Area of kite=
`(1)/(2)* 6* 6`

=6×3

=18 m²

Hence, area of kite is:

18 m²

correct option is:

a.
