Agreeting card uses a geometric design containing 4 congruent kites. the card is 4 inches wide and 8 inches long. what is the area of one kite? 4 sq. in. 8 sq. in. 12 sq. in. 16 sq. in.

4 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer the attached figure .

Since the card is 8 inches long .

So, length of Vertical diagonal of 1 kite + length of Vertical diagonal of another kite = 8

Since we are given that the kites are congruent

So, length of Vertical diagonal of both kites will be same

So, 2 (length of Vertical diagonal of 1 kite ) = 8

So, length of Vertical diagonal of 1 kite = 4 inches

Now width of card is 4 inches

So, length of Horizontal diagonal of 1 kite + length of Horizontal diagonal of another kite =4

Since we are given that the kites are congruent

So, length of Horizontal diagonal of both kites will be same

So, 2 (length of Horizontal diagonal of 1 kite ) = 4

So, length of Horizontal diagonal of 1 kite = 2 inches

So length of vertical diagonal of kite is 4 inches and horizontal diagonal is 2 inches

So, Area of kite =

Where p and q are the diagonals of kite

Area of kite =

                   =

Hence the area of one kite is 4 sq. inches.
