Answer:
176 cm^2
Explanation:
Area of a triangle = 1/2(b)(h)
*b means base and h means height*
Since there are four separate triangles here, we have to find the area for each and add each area together.
1/2(8)(16)
1/2(128)
64
We can multiple 64 by 2, because there are two triangles of this same size in the kite.
64(2) = 128
1/2(8)(6)
1/2(48)
24
We can also multiply 24 by two since the kite includes two triangles of this same size.
24(2) = 48
48 + 128 =
