Height of the kite is = 36 inches.
Width of the kite is = 30 inches
One of the ways to find the area is to draw a vertical line to break the kite into two equal triangles. Mark the base as 36 inches and height as 15 inches .
Now we will use the formula to find the area of each triangle. Then we will add both the areas to find the area of the kite.
Area of 1 triangle = = 270 square inches
Area of the 2nd triangle is also = 270 square inches
Hence, area of the kite = 270+270 = 540 square inches
