Question

find the area of the kite brainly

Answer 1

Length of diagonal=4.93+10.2=15.13 m
Length of the other diagonal=8.5+8.5=17 m
Area=1/2 x diagonal1 x diagonal2
=1/2 x 15.13 x 17
=128.61 cm^2

Answer 2

Answer:

The area is 128.605$meters^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a triangle is :$\frac{base*height}{2}$

To work this out you would first have to divide the shape into 4 smaller triangles.

Then we are going to first calculate the area of on the bottom triangles. To do this we would multiply the base of 8.5 and the height of 10.2, this gives you 86.7$meters^{2}$. Although you would normally divide the answer by 2, as there are 2 identical triangles that is not necessary.

Now that we know the area of the bottom triangles we can now work out the top triangles. You can do this by multiplying the base op 8.5 by the height of 4.93, this gives you  41.905$meters^2$.

To work out the total area of this shape you would simply add the areas of 86.7 and 41.905, this would gives you $128.605meters^2$. This is because we first broke the shape down so you could work out the area of each individual area, however to work out the total all the areas must be added up.

1) Divide the shape into 4 smaller triangles.

2) Multiply 8.5 by 10.2.

$8.5*10.2=86.7meters^2$

3) Multiply 8.5 by 4.93.

$8.5*4.94=41.905meters^2$

4) Add 86.7 and 41.905.

$86.7+41.905=128.605meters^2$
