Area of a triangle = 1/2 Bh


so 6 x 8.5 = 51 and since there is 2 triangles we don't need to divide

Then you have the larger ones so you multiply 8.5 x 13 and get 110.5

so now all you have to do is add 51 + 110.5 which is 161.5 inches<-------

Answer:

She needs 161.5 in² of material.

Step-by-step explanation:

A kite is a deltoid.

The formula of an area of a deltoid:

[tex]A=\dfrac{d_1\cdot d_2}{2}[/tex]

d₁, d₂ - diagonals

We have:

[tex]d_1=8.5in+8.5in=17in\\\\d_2=6in+13in=19in[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex]A=\dfrac{(17)(19)}{2}=\dfrac{323}{2}=161.5\ in^2[/tex]
