What is the area of the kite?
A kite with both diagonals is shown. The diagonals intersect each other so that the shorter diagonal is split into parts that are 2 feet and 2 feet and the longer diagonal is split into parts that are 10 feet and 20 feet.
To find the area of the kite, we can use the formula A = (d1 * d2)/2, where d1 and d2 are the lengths of the diagonals.
Given that the shorter diagonal is split into parts of 2 feet and 2 feet, we can determine that its length is 2 + 2 = 4 feet.
Similarly, the longer diagonal is split into parts of 10 feet and 20 feet, so its length is 10 + 20 = 30 feet.
Substituting the values into the formula, the area of the kite is A = (4 * 30) / 2 = 120 / 2 = 60 square feet.
Therefore, the area of the kite is 60 square feet.
