Find the area of the kite shown below. I got 24 square units

OpenStudy (spazzaround):

Is that right?

OpenStudy (phi):

scroll down to where they show area https://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/kite.html the answer is to multiply the two diagonals, then divide by 2 so you first need to find the length of the two diagonals can you do that ?

OpenStudy (spazzaround):

So P x Q p is 6 and q is 8? So you multiply that then divided by too (6)(8) = 48 /2 the area is 24

OpenStudy (spazzaround):

I don't think that's right.

OpenStudy (phi):

what are the lengths of the two diagonals? one of the diagonals is 6 the other diagonal they give you *part of it" (the 8) but we can find the other part, because we have a right triangle and can use pythagoras.
