Question

A company designs a logo using a kite figure around the letter t. The logo is 12 centimeters wide and 16 centimeters tall. What is the area of the logo? 48 sq. cm 96 sq. cm 144 sq. cm 192 sq. cm

Answer 1

96

Explanation:

Answer 2

96 sq. cm.

Explanation:

A "kite" has 2 diagonals, which are the "width" and "height" of the kite.

Using diagonals, the area of a kite is given by
`A=(pq)/(2)`

Where

A is the area

p,q are the width and height, respectively

From the problem given, p is 12 and q is 16, so the area is:

`A=(pq)/(2)\\A=((12)(16))/(2)\\A=96`

Thus, the area is 96 sq. cm
