Akite has a height of 36 inches and a width of 30 inches. explain how to use the area formula for a triangle to find the area of the kite.

Height of the kite is = 36 inches.

Width of the kite is = 30 inches

One of the ways to find the area is to draw a vertical line to break the kite into two equal triangles. Mark the base as 36 inches and height as 15 inches .

Now we will use the formula to find the area of each triangle. Then we will add both the areas to find the area of the kite.

Area of 1 triangle = = 270 square inches

Area of the 2nd triangle is also = 270 square inches

Hence, area of the kite = 270+270 = 540 square inches

50-38=12
