Question

area of special quadrilaterals
what is the area of the kite?
20 square meters
40 square meters
36 square meters
80 square meters

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the area formula for a kite

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 the diagonals

From the problem, assume the diagonals \( d_1 = 8\space m \) and \( d_2=10\space m \).

Step3: Substitute into the formula

Substitute \( d_1 = 8 \) and \( d_2 = 10 \) into \( A=\frac{1}{2}d_1d_2 \).
