An artist is designing a kite like the one show below. Calculate the area to determine how much material she will need to create the kite.

A kite with two top triangles with height of 6 inches and a base 8.5 inches. The bottom two triangles share the base but have a height labeled 13 inches.

36 square inches
110.5 square inches
161.5 square inches
323 square inches

Respuesta :

110.5 spuare inches hope this helps

Answer:

The answer is 161.5

Step-by-step explanation: The top half of the kite is 6 in times 17 in because 8.5 + 8.5 = 17 so its 102. Half of 102 is 51 so 51 is the area of the top half. The bottom half is 13 in times 17 in which equals 221. Half of 221 is  110.5. Then 110.5 + 51 = 161.5... So your answer is 161.5 square inches.
