Question

What are the width and the area of the rug?

Answer 1

Given:

The rug is in the shape of a kite.

$d_1=31$ in

$d_2=9$ in

To find:

The width and area of the rug

Solution:

Width of the rug = 9 in

Area of the kite = $\frac{1}{2} \times d_1 \times d_2$

                          $=\frac{1}{2} \times 31 \times 9$

                          = 139.5 in³

The area of the rug is 139.5 in³.
