Alice created a kite out of two sticks and some fabric. The sticks were 10 inches and 15 inches long.
She tied the sticks together so they were perpendicular and attached the fabric. When she measured
the kite, she noticed that the distance from where the sticks meet to the top of the kite was 5 inches.
What is the area of the kite Alice created?

Answer:

Area = 25 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the large base triangle first. The height is 15 - 5 = 10

The base across is 10 (the length of the smaller stick).

The Area of that triangle is 1/2 * b * h

Area = 1/2 * 10 * 10 = 50

Now the smaller triangle is the same base (the smaller stick of 10) * the height of 5

Area = 1/2  b * h

Area = 1/2  10 * 5

Area = 25

total area of the kite = 50 + 25 = 75
