Question

What is the area of the kite? (This was all that was given)

Will you please show your work? I don't really understand how to find the area of kites, so it would be really helpful :)

Answer 1

`60\text{ ft}^2`

Explanation:

We have been given an image of a kite and we are asked to find the area of our given kite.

Since we know that area of kite is half the product of its diagonals, so we can set an equation to find the area of our given kite as:

`\text{Area of the kite}=\frac{\text{(10 ft+20 ft)}* \text{(2 ft+2 ft)}}{2}`

`\text{Area of the kite}=\frac{\text{30 ft}* \text{4 ft}}{2}`

`\text{Area of the kite}=\frac{120\text{ ft}^2}{2}`

`\text{Area of the kite}=60\text{ ft}^2`

Therefore, the area of our given kite is 60 square feet.
