Answer 1

wait

Answer 2

so it will be C

Answer 3

thanks! @PlanSlam

Answer 4

np bro

Answer 5

area of half the kite \[=\frac12 bh\\=\frac12\left( 12+7 \right)\times 9.5\\=\frac12 13 \times 9.5\]

Answer 6

sorry \[=\frac12 \times 19 \times 9.5\]

Answer 7

so the are of the entire kite will be twice that

19*9.5 = 180.5

D is the correct answer @sjman1
