Answer:
B) 161.5 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
We can separate the kite figure into <em>two triangles, by cutting it vertically</em>.
So, we have two triangles with the area of <em>1/2*(6+13)*8.5</em>.
Since there is <em>two</em> of them, the equation of the total area is <em>2*1/2*(6+13)*8.5</em>.
Simplify: <em>1*19*8.5</em> (2 and 1/2 cancel out).
Multiply: <em>19*8.5</em> = 161.5 in²
