Question

Find the area of the kite shown.
A) 20 cm²
C) 42 cm²
B) 40 cm²
D) 84 cm²

Answer 1

A) 20 cm^2

Explanation:

Area of a kite is the product of the 2 diagonals divided by 2.

= (4*10)/2

= 20

Answer 2

A

Explanation:

the area (A) of a kite is calculated as

A =
`(1)/(2)` × d₁ × d₂ ( d₁ and d₂ are the diagonals )

here d₁ = 2 + 2 = 4 and d₂ = 3 + 7 = 10 , then

A =
`(1)/(2)` × 4 × 10 = 2 × 10 = 20 cm²
