Question

Find the area of the kite. 13 12 8 主 A= lin²

Answer 1

Answer:

100㏑²

Step-by-step explanation;

first of all you find the base using the pythagoras theorem

that is, √13² - 12² =√25 = 5

so 5 is the base of the right angle in the big isoceles triangle

so the base of the isoceles triangle is 10 [5 + 5]

so for the first triangle the area is 60㏑²

the second triangle is 40㏑²

therefore 60 + 40 = 100㏑²
