Q:

Kite A B C D is shown. Lines are drawn from point A to point C and from point B to point D and intersect.In the kite, AC = 10 and BD = 6.What is the area of kite ABCD?

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer: Area of kite is 30 sq units.Solution:Note: Refer the image attachedFrom the given,AC = 10 ; BD = 6Kite is a quadrilateral as it has two equal adjacent sides.The formula for the area of quadrilateral (kite) when both the diagonals are given is[tex]\text { area of kite }=\frac{1}{2} \times d_{1} d_{2}[/tex]Here AC is [tex]d_{1}[/tex] and BD is [tex]d_{2}[/tex]On substituting the given values we get[tex]area =  \frac{1}{2}\times10\times6 =  \frac{60}{2}=30 sq units[/tex]
