Question

Find the are of the kite! Please.

Answer Options:
A) 44 ft squared
B) 11 ft squared
C) 36 ft squared
D) 72 ft squared

Answer 1

C) 36 ft squared

Explanation:

The area of a kite can be found using the following formula:

`\boxed{\mathrm{Area = (1)/(2) * d_1 * d_2}}`,

where
`\mathrm{d_1}` and
`\mathrm{d_2}` are lengths of the of the diagonals of the kite.

In this question, the lengths of the diagonals are:

•
`\mathrm{d_1}` = 6 ft + 12 ft = 18 ft

•
`\mathrm{d_2}` = 2 ft + 2 ft = 4ft

Substituting these values into the formula:

`\mathrm{Area = (1)/(2) * 18 \space\ ft * 4 \space\ ft }`

`\mathrm{= \bf 36 \space\ ft^2}`
