Question

Find the area of the kite​

Answer 1

The area of the kite is 70 square cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

From the given question, the diagonals measure 14 cm and 10 cm. The longer diagonal of the kite is taken as q and the shorter one is taken as p.

So for the given kite, p is 10 cm long and q is 14 cm long.

The area of a kite is half the product of the diagonals of the kite.

The area of the kite $= \frac{(p)(q)}{2}.$

Step 2:

Substituting the known values, we get

The area of the kite $= \frac{(p)(q)}{2} = \frac{(10)(14)}{2},$

$\frac{(10)(14)}{2}= \frac{140}{2} = 70.$

So the area of the kite is 70 square cm.
