The correct answer is:
C. They are similar because the corresponding sides of kites KELY and BRAD all have the relationship 2:1.
Using the distance formula,
the lengths of the sides of BRAD are:
The lengths of the sides of KELY are:
Each side of KELY is twice the length of the corresponding side on BRAD. This makes the ratio of the sides 2:1 and the figures are similar.
Check the picture below.
so the rhombus has the diagonals of AC and BD, now keeping in mind that the diagonals bisect each, namely they cut each other in two equal halves, let's find the length of each.

that simply means that each triangle has a side that is half of 10√2 and another side that's half of 6√2.
namely, each triangle has a "base" of 3√2, and a "height" of 5√2, keeping in mind that all triangles are congruent, then their area is,
