Answer:

Width = 1/2h

Area = 1/4h²

Explanation:

This is quite a vague question from you. Being asked to find the width and area of a particular shape, without being given dimensions.

However, I would try to solve it nonetheless.

From your question, you stated that the width of the rug is half its height, if so, then,

w = 1/2h

Again, you're being asked to find the area. Area of a kite is given as

Area = 1/2 * Width * Height and as such, we have

Area = 1/2 * 1/2h * h

Area = 1/4 * h²

All that you need to do now is substitute the value of h
