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 for the area of a kite: Area = (1/2) * product of diagonals.
Given that the shorter diagonal is split into 2 feet and 2 feet, we know that the shorter diagonal is 4 feet long. And the longer diagonal is split into 10 feet and 20 feet, so the longer diagonal is 30 feet long.
Now, we can plug these values into the formula:
Area = (1/2) * 4 feet * 30 feet
Area = (1/2) * 120 square feet
Area = 60 square feet
Therefore, the area of the kite is 60 square feet.
