Question

A kite has diagonals 5.3 ft and 6 ft. What is the area of the kite? A. 5.65 ft². B. 15.9 ft². C. 31.8 ft². D. 22.6 ft²

Answer 1

look at diagram to understand the soluiton

A=(1/2)ab where a is one diagonal and b is the other
A=(1/2)(5.3)(6)
A=(3)(5.3)
A=15.9
B is answer

Answer 2

Answer: The area of the kite is 15.9 sq. ft.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a kite has diagonals of lengths 5.3 ft and 6 ft.

We are to find the area of the kite.

We know that the area of a kite having diagonals of length 'p' units and 'q' units is

`A=(p* q)/(2).`

Here, p = 5.3 ft and q = 6 ft.

Therefore, the area of the kite will be

`A(p* q)/(2)=(5.3* 6)/(2)=5.3* 3=15.9~\textup{sq. ft}.`

Thus, the correct option is (B) 15.9 sq. ft.
