The area of the kite is 70 square cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
From the given question, the diagonals measure 14 cm and 10 cm. The longer diagonal of the kite is taken as q and the shorter one is taken as p.
So for the given kite, p is 10 cm long and q is 14 cm long.
The area of a kite is half the product of the diagonals of the kite.
The area of the kite [tex]= \frac{(p)(q)}{2}.[/tex]
Step 2:
Substituting the known values, we get
The area of the kite [tex]= \frac{(p)(q)}{2} = \frac{(10)(14)}{2},[/tex]
[tex]\frac{(10)(14)}{2}= \frac{140}{2} = 70.[/tex]
So the area of the kite is 70 square cm.
