Answer 2

Answer:

14 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several ways we can find the area.  Probably the easiest is to cut the kite in half vertically and find the area of each triangle.  The area of the kite will be double that.

The height of the kite is 7 units, and the width is 4 units.  So each triangle will have a base of 7 and height of 2.

A = 1/2 bh

A = 1/2 (7) (2)

A = 7

The area of the kite is double that, so:

2A = 14
