Calculating Kite Area and Diagonals

In this video tutorial by Maths 3000, viewers learn how to calculate the area of a kite. The process involves knowing the lengths of the kite's diagonals, multiplying them, and dividing the result by two. The video provides two examples: one with diagonals of 6 cm and 11 cm, resulting in an area of 33 cm², and another with diagonals of 8 cm and 9 cm, resulting in an area of 36 cm².

What measurements are needed to calculate the area of a kite?

• The height and base

• The lengths of the diagonals

• The lengths of the sides

• The perimeter

How do you calculate the area of a kite once you have the lengths of the diagonals?

• Add the lengths together and divide by 2

• Multiply the lengths together and divide by 2

• Multiply the lengths together and divide by 4

• Subtract one length from the other

In Example 1, what are the lengths of the diagonals of the kite?

• 6 cm and 11 cm

• 8 cm and 11 cm

• 6 cm and 9 cm

• 8 cm and 9 cm

What is the area of the kite in Example 1?

• 36 cm²

• 33 cm²

• 66 cm²

• 72 cm²

In Example 2, what are the lengths of the diagonals of the kite?

• 6 cm and 11 cm

• 8 cm and 9 cm

• 9 cm and 11 cm

• 6 cm and 9 cm

What is the area of the kite in Example 2?

• 33 cm²

• 66 cm²

• 36 cm²

• 72 cm²
