Answer:
18 metres squared
Explanation:
it looks like you want to find the area of the kite as a whole, and lucky for you, the kite is conveniently cut into right triangles.
to find the area of a right triangle, you use the equation
A = (b × h)/2
where A is the area, b is the base, and h is the height.
now we plug in the numbers for each individual area and solve for the total area.
let's start with the 1st triangle, where it's base is 30cm and the height is 25 cm.
A = (30 × 25)/2
A = 375 cm squared
now the next one whose base is 30 and it's height is also 25 (We just did this last time so the area is the same)
A = 375 cm squared
now we'll do the next one whose base is 30 and height is 35.
A = (30 × 35)/2
A = 525 cm squared
and the last one is the same as the one we just did so I'll just copy the other answer.
A = 525 cm squared
alright now we'll add up all of the areas we just found to get the total area of the kite.
Total A = 375 + 375 + 525 + 525
Total A = 1800 cm squared
now we will divide our total by 100 because it takes 100 centimetres to get 1 metre and what we have right now is centimetres.
1800/100 = 18 metres squared.
