Step-by-step explanation:
A kite is broken into two triangles
Given the base of the traingle, b = 16 cm
Height of the triangle, h = 5 cm
Area of traingle = [tex]\frac{1}{2} (b.h)[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{2} (16) (5)[/tex]
= 40 [tex]cm^{2}[/tex]
Area of the kite = area of triangle 1 + area of triangle 2
= 40 + 40
= 80 [tex]cm^{2}[/tex]
