Question

Find the area of the kite​

Answer 1

The area of the kite is 70 square cm.

Explanation:

Step 1:

From the given question, the diagonals measure 14 cm and 10 cm. The longer diagonal of the kite is taken as q and the shorter one is taken as p.

So for the given kite, p is 10 cm long and q is 14 cm long.

The area of a kite is half the product of the diagonals of the kite.

The area of the kite
`= ((p)(q))/(2).`

Step 2:

Substituting the known values, we get

The area of the kite
`= ((p)(q))/(2) = ((10)(14))/(2),`

`((10)(14))/(2)= (140)/(2) = 70.`

So the area of the kite is 70 square cm.
