The formula for the area of a kite is:
A = (d1 x d2)/2
where d1 and d2 are the lengths of the two diagonals. We are given that the area is 78 in. squared and one diagonal (d1) is 12 in. Plugging in these values, we can solve for the other diagonal (d2):
78 = (12 x d2)/2
Multiplying both sides by 2 and then dividing by 12, we get:
d2 = 13
Therefore, the length of the other diagonal is 13 in.
The area of a kite is 78 in. squared. The length of one diagonal is 12 in. What is the length of the other diagonal?
