if we're going to work out the area of
the kite we're going to need the
diagonals and they are the dimensions of
this particular yellow vivid bright
yellow kite right over here so we're
going to work out the area of it two
steps number one write out the area of a
kite the formula and then calculate it
and it's all about multiplying the
diagonals which are the dimensions from
this corner to that corner and also from
this corner all the way across to that
corner and the diagonals are given here
please take note all units are in
centimeters and because it's area the
area will be in centimeters squared so
let's write out the formula area of a
kites equals 1/2 times x times y okay
let's drag and drop and put all the
values we have from here into here it's
a rather simple process so first of all
let's write up behalf times now the
first diagonal is X straight across
there it's from one corner to the other
it's this corner all the way to that
corner that's 85 centimeters times the Y
which is straight across there from that
corner to that corner that's 20
centimeters all we need to do now is to
multiply that out 1/2 times 20 is 10 10
times 85 850 total area here in this
vivid yellow kite
