The material needed to make 1 kite is 144 square inches and for 3 kites she need 432 square inches of the material.

Explanation:

Diagonals of the kite = 16 inches and 18 inches

Area of the kite = (16 x 18) /2

= 144 square inches

Area of 3 kites = 3 x 144

= 432 square inches.

The material needed to make 1 kite is 144 square inches and for 3 kites she need 432 square inches of the material.
