(05.02)an artist is designing a kite like the one show below. calculate the area to determine how much material she will need to create the kite.

a kite with two top triangles with height of 5 inches and a base 7.5 inches. the bottom two triangles share the base but have a height labeled 14 inches.
142.5 square inches
105 square inches
37.5 square inches
34 square inches

(A) 142.5 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that A kite with two top triangles with height of 5 inches and a base 7.5 inches. The bottom two triangles share the base but have a height labeled 14 inches that is:

DE=5in, EC=7.5in, EB=14in

Now, area of the two top triangles of the kite=

=

=

=

Also, area of the two bottom triangles of the given kite=

=

=

=

Therefore, the total area of the kite=area of the two top triangles of the kite+area of the two bottom triangles of the given kite

=37.5+105

=142.5 square inches.

its 60

4 x 12 = 48

3 x 4 = 12

48 + 12 = 60

yeeeet
