Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution 1
The figure (kite) is symmetric and covers half of the area of rectangle with sides 8 units aby 10 units
The area of the rectangle:
The area of the kite:
- A = 1/2*80 = 40 sq. units
Solution 2
Split the kite into two triangles and calculate their area and add up
Triangle DCB has b = 8, h = 2 and has area:
- A = 1/2*8*2 = 8 sq. units
Triangle DAB has b = 8, h = 8 and has area:
- A = 1/2*8*8 = 32 sq. units
Total area:
