the question does not present the picture, but this
does not interfere with the resolution
step 1
Find the area of a kite
we know that
area of a kite=(1/2)*[d1*d2]
where d1 and d2 are the diagonals
so
area of a kite=(1/2)*[6*12]-----> 36 in²
<span>The wall is 12 feet across-----> convert to in-----> 12*12----> 144 in
step 2
find the number of kite to paint
divide across of the wall to across of a kite
144/6-----> 24
step 3
find the n</span><span>umber of square inches of the wall to be covered with comets
</span>24*area of one kite-----> 24*36-----> 864 in²
the answer is 864 in²
<span>Note For this calculation, as there is no drawing we have assumed that the diagonal of the 6-inch kite is horizontal
</span>
case b)
<span>If the diagonal of the 12-inch kite was horizontal, then the calculation would be
</span>step 2
find the number of kite to paint
divide across of the wall to across of a kite
144/12-----> 12
step 3
find the number of square inches of the wall to be covered with comets
12*area of one kite-----> 12*36-----> 432 in²
the answer would be 432 in²
