Answer:
Area = (1/2) * (Diagonal_1)*(Diagonal_2)
where Diagonal_1 is one diagonal in the kite
and Diagonal_2 is 2nd diagonal in the kite
Explanation:
The diagonals of a kite intersect at right angles and one diagonal bisects the other.
so you get two triangles, with a base length of (Diagonal 1)
the height_1 = a , height_2 = b
a + b = Diagonal_2
area of one triangle in Kite = (1/2)(Diagonal_1)*a
area of second triangle in Kite = (1/2)(Diagonal_1)*b
area of kite = area of triangle_1 + area of triangle_2
area of kite = (1/2)(Diagonal_1)*a + (1/2)(Diagonal_1)*b
area of kite = (1/2)*(Diagonal_1)*(a + b)
Area of kite = (1/2) * (Diagonal 1)*(Diagonal2)
