Question

In the given kite, AE = 6 ft , BE =9ft , and DE = 15ft . Determine the area of the kite .

Answer 1

Add AE Plus CE=12
BE Plus DE=24
The 12*24=288
Bc you multiply length times width

Answer 2

The area of a kite is 144 ft².

Explanation:

Given information: AE = 6 ft , BE =9ft , and DE = 15ft .

Area of kite is

`A=(1)/(2)d_1d_2`

where,
`d_1\text{ and }d_2` are diagonals of kite.

From the given figure it is clear that BD and AC are diagonals of the kite.

`d_1=BD=BE+DE=9+15=24`

`d_2=AC=AE+CE=6+6=12`

The area of given kite is

`A=(1)/(2)* 24* 12`

`A=144`

Therefore the area of a kite is 144 ft².
