Answer:
Explanation:
For a quadrilateral in which the diagonals cross at right angles, such as a rhombus or kite, the area can be found as half the product of the diagonals.
For the purpose here, we can ignore the factor of 1/2, which is the same for both, and simply consider the products of the diagonals.
Kite A has an area proportional to (30 in)(30 in) = 900 in².
Kite B has an area proportional to (20 in)(40 in) = 800 in².
Kite A has a larger area, so will use more paper.
