We're going to use the equation given but let's first make sure we understand what the equation IS saying:
Area of a kite= [(1st diagonal) × (2nd diagonal)]/2
Now, let's find the 2 diagonals. In the case of kite shapes one of the diagonals is the line that goes from W to Y and the other is the line going from X to Z. In a kite they will always cross (no matter their lengths).
Now that we know the diagonals we can add the lengths that are given for each line to know what to multiply.
Line W to Y: 20+12= 32
Line X to Z: 12+12= 24
Now let's plug these numbers into the equation (it doesn't matter the order of the diagonals because we're just gonna be multiplying them either way!)
So...
(32×24)/2= 384 units squared (because it is area)
You need a right triangle correct. If you used a graph and put the points (5,12) & (11,12) it would make sense to have the next point --this(11,4)
Okay, let's work this out...
What we know:
-32 stamps in all
- rows (horizontal)
- same # in each
What we "want to know" :
- # of combinations (different)
Problem Solving :
This is actually very easy its just the words than get ya!
1st : we need to figure out the factors of 32...
In other words, we need to figure out _x_=32 and how many different combinations and ways there are!
Note:(* means multiplication)
#1: What are the factors of 32?
32: 1*32 , 2*16 , 4*8
32: 32*1 , 16*2 , 8*4
The factors (not including 1 are 2,4,8,16)
Now, as you can see, there are 4 ways to get 32 as shown first.

That ¦ is 1 way with 16 in 2 rows. Basic multiplication, 16*2=32 or 16+16=32.
But, this is also a way,
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
Now there should be 2 in each row and 16 rows. Again 2*16=32 or 2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2=32
That's two ways so far.
||||||||
||||||||
||||||||
||||||||
Another way which is 4 rows with 8 in each.
4*8=32 or 8+8+8+8=32
But, this is also a way,
||||
||||
||||
||||
||||
||||
||||
||||
Now that is 8 rows with 4 in each. 8*4=32 or 4+4+4+4+4+4+4+4=32
That was our fourth way.
Again NOT including 1. If you include 1 then there will be 6 ways but aside from that there are 4 ways.
I hope that helped I worked hard typing this all for you. Any questions just ask!
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
