Area formula of a kite

Area = (1/2) * (Diagonal_1) * (Diagonal_2)

where Diagonal_1 is one diagonal in the kite

and Diagonal_2 is 2nd diagonal in the kite

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonals of a kite intersect at right angles and one diagonal bisects the other.

so you get two triangles, with a base length of (Diagonal 1)

the height_1 = a, height_2 = b

a + b = Diagonal_2

area of one triangle in Kite = (1/2) (Diagonal_1) * a

area of second triangle in Kite = (1/2) (Diagonal_1) * b

area of kite = area of triangle_1 + area of triangle_2

area of kite = (1/2) (Diagonal_1) * a + (1/2) (Diagonal_1) * b

area of kite = (1/2) * (Diagonal_1) * (a + b)

Area of kite = (1/2) * (Diagonal 1) * (Diagonal2)

(pq) / 2

Step-by-step explanation:

p and q are the diagonals of the kite
