Answer 2

The correct option is d.

Explanation:

Area of a triangle is

`A=(1)/(2)* base* height`

The given kite has two congruent triangles with base 9 and height 4.

The area of kite is twice of the area of triangle with base 9 and height 4.

`\text{Area of kite}=2* \text{Area of a triangle with base 9 and height 4}`

`\text{Area of kite}=2* ((1)/(2)* 9* 4)`

`\text{Area of kite}=36`

The area of kite is 36 square units.

Therefore the correct option is d.
