Deltoid Practice Problems: Kite Properties & Solutions

Let's begin by reminding ourselves of the formula for the area of a kite

$\frac{Diagonal1\times Diagonal2}{2}$

Both these values are given to us in the figure thus we can insert them directly into the formula:

(4*7)/2

28/2

14

To solve the exercise, we first need to know the formula for calculating the area of a kite:

It's also important to know that a concave kite, like the one in the question, has one of its diagonals outside the shape, but it's still its diagonal.

Let's now substitute the data from the question into the formula:

(6*5)/2=
30/2=
15

To solve the exercise, we first need to remember how to calculate the area of a rhombus:

(diagonal * diagonal) divided by 2

Let's plug in the data we have from the question

10*6=60

60/2=30

And that's the solution!

First, let's recall the formula for the area of a rhombus:

(Diagonal 1 * Diagonal 2) divided by 2

Now we will substitute the known data into the formula, giving us the answer:

(12*16)/2
192/2=
96

First, we recall the formula for the area of a kite: multiply the lengths of the diagonals by each other and divide the product by 2.

We substitute the known data into the formula:

$\frac{8\cdot DB}{2}=32$

We reduce the 8 and the 2:

$4DB=32$

Divide by 4

$DB=8$
