Question

An artist is designing a kite like the one show below. Calculate the area to determine how much material she will need to create the kite.

Answer 1

The answer is 161.5

Explanation:

Step-by-step explanation: The top half of the kite is 6 in times 17 in because 8.5 + 8.5 = 17 so its 102. Half of 102 is 51 so 51 is the area of the top half. The bottom half is 13 in times 17 in which equals 221. Half of 221 is 110.5. Then 110.5 + 51 = 161.5... So your answer is 161.5 square inches.
