The Deltoid and Everything You Need to Know to Verify It

What is a Kite or Deltoid?

In geometry, a deltoid is defined as a quadrilateral consisting of 2 2 isosceles triangles that share a common base.

So, what is the identification of a deltoid in the family of quadrilaterals?

A quadrilateral that has 2 pairs of equal adjacent sides

Example:

If given : AD=AB,DC=BC AD=AB,DC=BC

Then: ABCD ABCD is a deltoid by definition.

  • 2 isosceles triangles with a common base form a deltoid.
  • The sum of the angles in the deltoid is 360° 360° degrees.
  • The area of the deltoid contains the number of quadrilaterals that cover the selected parts of the plane.
  • The perimeter of the deltoid is the length of the thread with which we border the outline of the deltoid and is measured in units of length in meters or cm.

Is it possible to calculate the area of the kite? If so, what is it?

444101010AAADDDCCCBBB

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To determine if we can calculate the area of the kite, let's consider the steps we would use given complete data:
To calculate the area of a kite, we typically use the formula:

Area=12×d1×d2 \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times d_1 \times d_2

where d1 d_1 and d2 d_2 represent the lengths of the kite's diagonals.

In this case:

  • We are given that diagonal DB=d1=10 DB = d_1 = 10 cm.
  • However, we lack the length of the other diagonal, AC=d2 AC = d_2 .

Without knowing AC AC , we cannot apply the formula to calculate the area. Thus, given the information provided, it is not possible to determine the area of the kite.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is: It is not possible.

Answer

Exercise #8

Given the deltoid ABCD

Find the area

777555AAABBBCCCDDD

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we need to calculate the area of the deltoid ABCDABCD using the given lengths of its diagonals. The formula for the area of a deltoid (kite) is:

A=12×d1×d2 A = \frac{1}{2} \times d_1 \times d_2

Where d1d_1 and d2d_2 are the lengths of the diagonals. From the diagram, we know:

  • Diagonal AC=7AC = 7 cm
  • Diagonal BD=5BD = 5 cm

Substituting these values into the formula, we have:

A=12×7×5 A = \frac{1}{2} \times 7 \times 5

Calculating this gives:

A=12×35=17.5 A = \frac{1}{2} \times 35 = 17.5

Therefore, the area of the deltoid ABCDABCD is 17.517.5 cm².

The correct answer from the given choices is:

17.5 17.5 cm².

Answer

17.5 17.5 cm².

Exercise #9

Given the deltoid ABCD

Find the area

999666AAADDDCCCBBB

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem of finding the area of the deltoid (kite) ABCD, we will apply the formula for the area of a kite involving its diagonals:

The formula is:
Area=12×d1×d2\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times d_1 \times d_2

Where d1d_1 and d2d_2 are the lengths of the diagonals. From the problem’s illustration:

  • Diagonal d1d_1 (AC): Not visible in numbers, assumed to be covered internally or derived from setup, but logically follows as one given median-symmetry related.
  • Diagonal d2d_2 (BD): The vertical line gives a length of 6 cm6\text{ cm} from point B to D on the vertical axis.

The image references imply through markings that their impact in shape is demonstrated via convergence of matching altitudes and isos of plot. The diagonal proportion can be referred via an intercept mark mutual to setup if not altered by mistake redundantly.

Thus: Calculated area <=>12×6×9=27 cm2<=> \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 9 = 27\text{ cm}^2

The calculated area matches with the choice option:

  • The correct choice is 27 cm227 \text{ cm}^2, corresponding to provided option 4.

Therefore, the area of the deltoid is 27 cm2\boxed{27 \text{ cm}^2}.

Answer

27 27 cm².

Exercise #10

Find the area

101010777CCCBBBAAADDD

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we need to calculate the area of the deltoid using the formula for the area in terms of diagonals:

  • Identify the two diagonals: AC=10AC = 10 cm and BD=7BD = 7 cm.
  • Use the formula for the area of a deltoid: A=12×d1×d2 A = \frac{1}{2} \times d_1 \times d_2 .
  • Substitute the values of the diagonals into the formula: A=12×10×7=702=35 A = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 7 = \frac{70}{2} = 35 .

Thus, the area of the deltoid is 35 cm2\textbf{35 cm}^2.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 35 cm2\textbf{35 cm}^2, which corresponds to choice 3.

Answer

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll calculate the area of the deltoid ABCDABCD using the formula for the area of a kite or deltoid, which depends on its diagonals.

  • Step 1: Identify the given information
    The given diagonals are AC=9AC = 9 cm and BD=8BD = 8 cm.

Exercise #12

Given the deltoid ABCD

Find the area

555888AAADDDCCCBBB

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem of finding the area of the deltoid (kite) ABCD, we will follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Identify the given diagonal lengths. Here, AC=5 AC = 5 cm and BD=8 BD = 8 cm.
  • Step 2: Use the formula for the area of a kite or deltoid: Area=12×d1×d2 \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times d_1 \times d_2 where d1 d_1 and d2 d_2 are the lengths of the diagonals.
  • Step 3: Plug in the given values into the formula to calculate the area.

Now, let's calculate:
- The length of diagonal AC=5 AC = 5 cm.
- The length of diagonal BD=8 BD = 8 cm.

Applying the formula:

Area=12×5×8=12×40=20 \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 8 = \frac{1}{2} \times 40 = 20

Therefore, the area of the deltoid is 20 20 cm².

Exercise #13

Given the deltoid ABCD

Find the area

555161616AAADDDCCCBBB

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To find the area of the deltoid ABCD, we use the external height formula for deltoids:

Given:
- Height (hh) = 1616 cm
- Segment related to base (bb) = 55 cm

The area of the deltoid can be calculated by:

Area=12×base×height\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}

Plugging in our values, we have:

Area=12×5×16\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 16

Calculating the result:

Area=12×80=40\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 80 = 40 cm2^2

Therefore, the area of deltoid ABCD is 4040 cm2^2.

Answer

Step-by-Step Solution

We are tasked with finding the area of the deltoid (or kite) ABCD using the lengths of its diagonals. The given diagonals are AC=5 AC = 5 cm and BD=18 BD = 18 cm. The diagonals of a kite are perpendicular to each other.

To find the area of the kite, we use the formula:

Area=12×d1×d2 \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times d_1 \times d_2

Substituting the given values (d1=5 d_1 = 5 cm and d2=18 d_2 = 18 cm) into the formula, we get:

Area=12×5×18=12×90=45 cm2 \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 18 = \frac{1}{2} \times 90 = 45 \text{ cm}^2

Hence, the area of the deltoid ABCD is 45 45 cm².

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem of finding the area of the deltoid ABCDABCD, we will use the area formula for a kite. The formula is:

Area=12×d1×d2 \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times d_1 \times d_2

Given:

  • d1=22d_1 = 22 cm (one diagonal of the deltoid)
