Example Question #1 : How To Find The Area Of A Kite

What is the area of a kite with diagonals of 5 and 7?

Possible Answers:

17.5

Correct answer:

17.5

Explanation:

To find the area of a kite using diagonals you use the following equation $\frac{a*b}{2}=Area\: of a\: kite$

That diagonals ( and )are the lines created by connecting the two sides opposite of each other.

Plug in the diagonals for and to get $\frac{5*7}{2}=Area$

Then multiply and divide to get the area. $\frac{35}{2}=17.5$

The answer is 17.5

Example Question #2 : How To Find The Area Of A Kite

Find the area of the following kite:

Kite

Possible Answers:

27m^2

39m^2

54m^2

26m^2

78m^2

Correct answer:

39m^2

Explanation:

The formula for the area of a kite is:

$A = \frac{1}{2}(d_{1}\cdot d_{2})$

Where $d_{1}$ is the length of one diagonal and $d_{2}$ is the length of the other diagonal

Plugging in our values, we get:

$A = \frac{1}{2}(d_{1}\cdot d_{2})$

$A = \frac{1}{2}(6m\cdot 13m) = 39m^2$

Example Question #2 : How To Find The Area Of A Kite

Find the area of the following kite:

Screen_shot_2014-03-01_at_9.16.34_pm

Possible Answers:

$18\sqrt{3}m^2$

$18\sqrt{3}-18m^2$

$18\sqrt{3}+18m^2$

18m^2

20m^2

Correct answer:

$18\sqrt{3}+18m^2$

Explanation:

The formula for the area of a kite is:

$A = \frac{1}{2} (d_1)(d_2)$

where d_1 is the length of one diagonal and d_2 is the length of another diagonal.

Use the formulas for a 45-45-90 triangle and a 30-60-90 triangle to find the lengths of the diagonals. The formula for a triangle is $a-a-a \sqrt{2}$ and the formula for a triangle is $a-a \sqrt{3}-2a$ .

Our 45-45-90 triangle is: $3 \sqrt{2}m-3 \sqrt{2}m-6m$

Our 30-60-90 triangle is: $3 \sqrt{2}m-3 \sqrt{6}m-6\sqrt{2}m$

Plugging in our values, we get:

$A = \frac{1}{2} (d_1)(d_2)$

$A = \frac{1}{2} (6\sqrt{2}m) (3\sqrt{6}m + 3\sqrt{2}m)$

$A = \frac{1}{2} (18\sqrt{12}+18\sqrt{4}) = 18\sqrt{3}+18m^2$

Example Question #1 : Kites

Find the perimeter of the following kite:

Kite

Possible Answers:

$18+\sqrt{10} m$

$16+\sqrt{10} m$

$8+6\sqrt{10} m$

$10+6\sqrt{10} m$

$10+9\sqrt{10} m$

Correct answer:

$10+6\sqrt{10} m$

Explanation:

In order to find the length of the two shorter edges, use a Pythagorean triple:

3-4-5

3m-4m-5m

In order to find the length of the two longer edges, use the Pythagorean theorem:

A^2+B^2=C^2

(9)^2+(3)^2=C^2

C^2=90

$C=3\sqrt{10}m$

The formula of the perimeter of a kite is:

$P = 2(side_{short})+2(side_{long})$

Plugging in our values, we get:

$P = 2(5m)+2(3\sqrt{10}m) = 10+6\sqrt{10}m$

Example Question #1 : How To Find The Perimeter Of Kite

Find the perimeter of the following kite:

Screen_shot_2014-03-01_at_9.16.34_pm

Possible Answers:

$12\sqrt{2}m + 12m$

$12\sqrt{2}m - 12m$

24m

$12\sqrt{3}m - 12m$

$12\sqrt{3}m + 12m$

Correct answer:

$12\sqrt{2}m + 12m$

Explanation:

The formula for the perimeter of a kite is:

$P = 2(s_{long}) + 2(s_{short})$

Where $s_{long}$ is the length of the longer side and $s_{short}$ is the length of the shorter side

Use the formulas for a 45-45-90 triangle and a 30-60-90 triangle to find the lengths of the longer sides. The formula for a triangle is $a-a-a \sqrt{2}$ and the formula for a triangle is $a-a \sqrt{3}-2a$ .

Our 45-45-90 triangle is: $3 \sqrt{2}m-3 \sqrt{2}m-6m$

Our 30-60-90 triangle is: $3 \sqrt{2}m-3 \sqrt{6}m-6\sqrt{2}m$

Plugging in our values, we get:

$P = 2(6\sqrt{2}m) + 2(6m)$

$P = 12\sqrt{2}m + 12m$
