Question

Find the area of the kite

Answer 1

For this case we have that the area of the kite is given by the area of two triangles, the triangles share the same base of 3 + 3 = 6 meters and one has height of 2m and the other height of 4m.

So, the total area is given by:

$A = \frac {1} {2} * 6 * 2 + \frac {1} {2} * 6 * 4\\A = \frac {1} {2} 12+ \frac {1} {2} *24\\A = 6 + 12\\A = 18$

Thus, the area of the kite is $18m ^ 2$

ANswer:

$18m ^ 2$
