Question
Video Solution
Solution Steps
00:00 Find the area of the kite
00:03 We will use the formula to calculate the area of a kite
00:07 (diagonal times diagonal) divided by 2
00:15 And this is the solution to the question
Step-by-Step Solution
To solve the exercise, we first need to know the formula for calculating the area of a kite:
It's also important to know that a concave kite, like the one in the question, has one of its diagonals outside the shape, but it's still its diagonal.
Let's now substitute the data from the question into the formula:
(6*5)/2=
30/2=
15
Answer
