Answer:

Area of the sandbox cover = 12 ft²

Explanation:

The area of a kite is given as the product of the two diagonals of the kite divided by 2.

Area of kite = (xy/2)

where x and y are the diagonals of the kite.

The sandbox cover, in shape of a kite has a width of 6 ft and a height of 4 ft.

These two dimensions are the diagonals of the kite. Hence, the area of a kite is

A = (6×4/2) = 12 ft²

Hope this Helps!!!
