Question

A kite was broken into two triangles of the same size and shape .

Answer 1

ANSWER

Each triangle:40 cm²

Kite : 80cm²

EXPLANATION

The area of a triangle is

$\frac{1}{2}bh$

The height of the triangle is

$h = \frac{1}{2} (10)=5cm$

and the base is 16 cm.

The area of each triangle is

$= \frac{1}{2}(16)(5) = 40 {cm}^{2}$

2. The total area of the kite is 2 times the area of one triangle.

$= 2 \times 40 = 80 {cm}^{2}$

Answer 2

Answer:the answer is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

because they split up the triangle which makes the height a diffrent number so u divide by 2, 16 divided by 2 = 8.
