Answer:

Marco will need
$3\ ft^(2)$ of material to make the kite

Explanation:

we know that

To know how much material Marco will need to make the kite, the area must be calculated.

Remember that the area of the kite is equal to

A=(1)/(2)[d1*d2]

where

d1 and d2 are the diagonals of the kite

we have

$d1=2\ ft$

$d2=3\ ft$

substitute

$A=(1)/(2)[2*3]=3\ ft^(2)$
