Area of a Kite

Area from the two diagonals of a kite.

Formula

A=12d1d2A = \frac{1}{2} d_1 d_2

Variables

d_1, d_2Diagonals

Example

Diagonals 10 and 4: A = ½·10·4 = 20 square units.

Did You Know?

A kite's two diagonals always cross at right angles, which is why half their product gives the area.
