Question

What is the area of the kite?

Answer 1

Answer: third option

Step-by-step explanation:

You must apply the following formula for calculate the area of a kite:

$A=\frac{d_1*d_2}{2}$

Where $d_1$ is the lenght of a diagonal of the kite and $d_2$ is the lenght of the other diagonal.

As you can see in the the figure:

$d_1=8ft+16ft=24ft\\d_2=5ft+5ft=10ft$

Therefore, when you substitute values, you obtain the following result:

 $A=\frac{(24ft)(10ft}{2}=120ft^2$
