Question

In the figure, $ABCD$ is a kite. Its diagonals $AC$ and $BD$ have lengths $a$ cm and $b$ cm respectively. Find the area of $ABCD$ in terms of $a$ and $b$. Hence state a general formula for the area of a kite in terms of its diagonal lengths.

Accepted Answer

Area $=\dfrac12ab\text{ cm}^2$ General formula $=\dfrac12\times\text{(product of the diagonal lengths)}$
