Question

marco is making a kite, using sticks for its diagonals. one stick is 2 feet long and the other is 3 feet long. how much material will marco need to make the kite?
2 square feet
3 square feet
4 square feet
6 square feet

Explanation:

Step1: Recall kite - area formula

The area formula for a kite is $A=\frac{1}{2}d_1d_2$, where $d_1$ and $d_2$ are the lengths of the diagonals.

Step2: Identify diagonal lengths

Given $d_1 = 2$ feet and $d_2=3$ feet.

Step3: Calculate the area

Substitute the values into the formula: $A=\frac{1}{2}\times2\times3$.
$A = 3$ square feet.

Answer:

B. 3 square feet
