Answer: Area = 498.8 ft^2

Explanation:

One of the segments of the kite forms a triangle.

Using a trigonometry ratio to find the base, tan 30 = opposite/ adjacent

Where opposite = 12 feet

Substitute opposite to find adjacent base.

Tan 30 = 12/base

Base = 12/tan 30

Base = 20.78 feet.

Area of a triangle = 1/2bh

Where the b = opposite = 12 feet

h = base = 20.78 feet

Substitute b and h into the formula

Area = 1/2 × 12 × 20.78

Area = 124.71 square feet.

There are 4 triangular shapes in the figure. Multiply the area by 4. That is,

124.71 × 4 = 498.9 square feet.

Therefore, the area of the shape is 498.9 ft^2
