Answer:
[tex]Width = 20\ in[/tex]
[tex]Area = 400\ in^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
See attachment for kite dimension
Required
Determine the width and the area
From the attachment, the height of the kite is:
[tex]Height = 31\ in + 9\ in[/tex]
[tex]Height = 40\ in[/tex]
The width which is half the height is:
[tex]Width = \frac{1}{2} * Height[/tex]
[tex]Width = \frac{1}{2} * 40\ in[/tex]
[tex]Width = 20\ in[/tex]
The area is:
[tex]Area = \frac{Height * Width}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Area = \frac{40\ in * 20\ in}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Area = 40\ in * 10\ in[/tex]
[tex]Area = 400\ in^2[/tex]
