Question

PLEASE CHECK MY ANSWER HELP WILL MEDAL AND FAN
FIND THE AREA OF THIS KITE

Answer 1

I think it's A I'm not sure

Answer 2

The kite is made of four separate triangles

Answer 3

so find the area of one of those triangles and multiply that by four

Answer 4

u would have noticed that all the four triangles have the same area

Answer 5

How do I do this with only 2 numbers? @Prathamesh_M

Answer 6

the two numbers are the base and height of the triangle

Answer 7

Okay I multiply those correct?

Answer 8

u might have noticed that all four triangles are right angled

Answer 9

he area of a triangle is half times base times height

Answer 10

hope that helped!!

Answer 11

I did 8 * 8 and 4 *4.. that gave me 128 when Ii divide it by 2 i get 64.

Answer 12

no thats wrong
u have to do \[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }(base)(height)\]

Answer 13

now substitute the base and the height in that expression

Answer 14

Okay so do I multiply 4 * 8 and divide that by 2?

Answer 15

I hope I'm not interupting you both but don't you find the area of a rhombus by first by first finding the length of both diagonals and then multiply them and divide that answer by 2?

Answer 16

That's what I thought. I'm doing something wrong apparently

Answer 17

yeah u can do that as well @IcecreamPrincess i hadn't thought of it

Answer 18

i think you would first multiply 4*8 and u would get 32 and then divide that by 2 and you would get 16

Answer 19

Tthat doesn't give any of my answer choices

Answer 20

yup that would be the area of one triangle

Answer 21

u forgot to multiply it by 4

Answer 22

16?

Answer 23

Yes, and that gives me A like I thought it was initially

Answer 24

yes

Answer 25
