Answer:
<em>Option A, Option C, Option E</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a kite can be identified through 1 / 2 of the multiplication of each diagonal. The first diagonal is equivalent to the addition of 50 cm and 10 cm, while the second is of length 20 cm + 20 cm.
Consider the first option. If we take a look at the bit 2 * ( 1 / 2 * 20 * 50 ) the 2 and 1 /2 cancel each other out, leaving you with 20 * 50 = 1000 . Respectively in the expression 2 * ( 1 / 2 * 20 * 10 ) the 2 and 1 / 2 cancel each other out, leaving you with 20 * 10 = 200;
The second option considers the expression 2 * ( 1 / 2 * 20 * 60 ). Again, the 2 and 1 / 2 cancel each other out, leaving you with 20 * 60;
Option C is a similar version of option a, besides the fact that the 1 / 2 doesn't exist. Thus, Option C is incorrect!
Option D is a similar version of option a as well, but as the 2 doesn't exist, it is incorrect!
This last option, option E is taken as 1 / 2 of the multiplication of the diagonals, and thus is correct!
