Area of a Kite
Given a kite of diagonals of lengths x and y, the area can be calculated with the formula:
[tex]A=\frac{x\cdot y}{2}[/tex]
The longer diagonal has a length of x = p - 4 + p = 2p - 4
Since p = 12 in, then x = 2*12 - 4 = 20 in
The shorter diagonal measures y = 2m. We are given m=6, thus y = 12 in
The area of the kite is:
[tex]A=\frac{20in\cdot12in}{2}=120in^2[/tex]
Answer: 120 sq in
