When plotted on a grid, the paths between four neighborhood houses form the shape of a kite as shown.



The distance from House B to House D is 50 feet. The distance from House A to House C is 40 feet. What is the area of the figure created by the four houses?

Respuesta :

To find the area of this figure, let's use the formula for area of a kite: A = [tex] \frac{ d_{1} d_{2} }{2}[/tex]. 

A = [tex] \frac{ d_{1} d_{2} }{2}[/tex]
A = [tex] \frac{(50)(40)}{2} [/tex]
A = [tex] \frac{2000}{2} [/tex]
A = 1000 ft²

The area of the kite figure created by the four houses is 1000 ft².

Answer:

the answer 1000ft^2 is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 x 40 x 50 = 1/2 x 2000

1/2 x 2000 = 1000ft^2
