Question

The lengths of the diagonals of a kite are 10 inches and 20 inches. What is the area of the kite?

A) 55 in2
B) 100 in2
C) 165 in2
D) 220 in2

Answer 1

Answer: B

Shape: Diamond (4 triangles)

Formula: A = 1/2bh

so...

A = 4(1/2bh) <------ Multiply by 4 because a diamond has 4 triangles)

A = 4(1/2(5)(10))

A = 4(5(5))

A = 4(25)

A = 100 in^2
