Question

Using complete sentences, explain how the formula for the area of kite PQRS is derived.

Answer 1

well my calculations say that mhhmmmmmm???

Answer 2

Area of the kite = ( area of triangle PQS ) + ( Area of triangle QSR)

= ( 1/2 * QS * OP) + (1/2 * QS * OR), where O is the point of intersection of PR and QS

= 1/2 * QS * (OP + OR)

= 1/2 * QS * PR

= 1/2 * d1 * d2

Answer 3

thank you.
