Question

Find the are of the kite.
a. 96 ft^2
b.192 ft^2
c.64 ft^2
d.348 ft^2

Answer 1

a. 96 ft^2

Explanation:

You can cut the kite into 2 equal triangle halves vertically.

Then you can use the triangle area formula and multiply it by 2 since there are 2 triangles.

`(1)/(2) *12*8*2=\\6*8*2=\\48*2=\\96ft^2`

The kite's area is a. 96 ft^2.

Answer 2

A

Explanation:

The area of a kite is half of the product of the length of the diagonals, or in this case 16*12/2=96 square feet. Hope this helps!
