Question

Jake drew a kite the sketch below of a kite that he wants to make.

Part A
Which of the following expression can be used to find the area of the kite?
Part B
What is the area of Jakes kite?
area= ??

Answer 1

a) The area of a kite is given by
`A=(d_(1)d_(2))/(2)`, where
`d_(1), d_(2)` are the lengths of the diagonals. So the answer is
`(1)/(2) (40 * 60)`.

b) Evaluating the expression from part (a), we get the area to be
`\boxed{1200 \text{ cm}^(2)}`
