Question

Find the sum of the areas of a kite with diagonals of 28 and 32 inches and a rhombus with diagonals of 37 and 63 inches. Round answer to the nearest tenth of a square inch.

Answer 1

total area = K + R = 448 + 1,165.5 = $1,613.5 sq. in.

Explanation:

Use formulas for area of Kite and area of rhombus.

K = area of Kite

R = area of rhombus

K = (1/2) *(diagonal 1)*(diagonal 2)

R = (1/2)*(diagonal 1)*(diagonal 2)

K = (1/2)*(28 in.)*(32 in.) = 14 * 32 = 448 sq. in.

R = (1/2)*(37 in.)*(63 in.) = 1,165.5 sq. in.

total area = K + R = 448 + 1,165.5 = $1,613.5 sq. in.
