What is the area of the kite? write this answer in a different way while still showing your work
area= 1/2(b)(h)
b for both traingles is 4
height of 1 triangle is 10 and the other is 20
total are will equal both triangles added together
area of first triangle = 1/2(10)(4)= 20ft^2
area of second triangle = 1/2(20)(4)= 40ft^2
area of the kite= 20+40= 60ft^2
show your work!
Sure!
Area of first triangle = 1/2 * base * height = 1/2 * 4 ft * 10 ft = 20 sq ft
Area of second triangle = 1/2 * base * height = 1/2 * 4 ft * 20 ft = 40 sq ft
Total area of the kite = Area of first triangle + Area of second triangle = 20 sq ft + 40 sq ft = 60 sq ft
Therefore, the total area of the kite is 60 square feet.
