How do you find the area of a kite?

multiply the lengths both the given diagonals, then divide by two.

To find the area of a kite, you can use the formula:

[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{diagonal}_1 \times \text{diagonal}_2 ]

Where:

• ( \text{diagonal}_1 ) and ( \text{diagonal}_2 ) are the lengths of the two diagonals of the kite.

Alternatively, if you know the lengths of the two adjacent sides (which are equal in a kite), you can use the formula:

[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{product of the lengths of the two adjacent sides} \times \text{height} ]

Where:

• The height can be found by drawing a perpendicular line from one vertex to the opposite side.

Choose the formula that aligns with the information you have about the kite, either the lengths of the diagonals or the lengths of the adjacent sides and the height. Then, plug in the values into the appropriate formula and calculate the area.
