Answer:
Area of the kite = 80
, Area of traingle = 40
and height of the triangle, h = 5 cm
Explanation:
A kite is broken into two triangles
Given the base of the traingle, b = 16 cm
Height of the triangle, h = 5 cm
Area of traingle =
![(1)/(2) (b.h)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/wsl531i6ltv8i2fycr2yonk78k7afkl1an.png)
=
![(1)/(2) (16) (5)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/gqnzt7t1k47s429vrqo1jnepktkopqwdzc.png)
= 40
![cm^(2)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/college/3egjq6yu0jjhb68fk7b08bmp2b67onyx3n.png)
Area of the kite = area of triangle 1 + area of triangle 2
= 40 + 40
= 80
