Answer:

40.5 Units

Explanation:

The area of a kite is A = (d1d2) / 2, where d1 and d2 are the diagonals of the kite.

Since the kite is inscribed in the square, and the sides of the square are 9 units, the diagonals of the kite are both 9 units.

d1 = 9 units

d2 = 9 units

A = (9units * 9units) / 2

A = 81units² / 2

A = 40.5 units²
