The area of the kite is 90 ft^2.
To find the area of a kite, you can use the formula: area = (diagonal 1 x diagonal 2) / 2.
In this case, the diagonals are 3 feet (horizontal) and 10 feet (vertical at the top). So, the area would be (3 x 10) / 2 = 30 / 2 = 15 ft^2.
Since the kite is symmetrical, we can multiply this by 2 to get the total area which is 15 ft^2 x 2 = 30 ft^2.
What is the area of the kite?
A kite is shown.
• A horizontal line segment running through the kite connects vertices at the left and right sides of the figure.
• A vertical line segment running through the kite connects vertices at the top and bottom of the figure.
• The intersection of these two segments divides the horizontal segment into smaller segments that are 3 feet in length.
• The vertical segment is divided into two shorter segments. The segment at the top of the figure is 10 feet long and the segment at the bottom is 20 feet long.
