A kite is a quadrilateral with two pairs of 

consecutive sides congruent, no opposite sides 

are congruent. Its diagonals are perpendicular.

where
d₁ is the length of a diagonal
d₂ is the length of the other diagonal

Diagonal Length D1 = 10 in
Diagonal Length D2 = 20 in

Objective :
Find what is area of kite?

Formula
Kite Area = 12D1 x D2

Solution :
Kite Area = 1210 x 20
= 12200
Kite Area = 100 in²

Perimeter=2a+2b

Where,
a = The length of First pair
b = The length of second pair

Solved Examples

Question 1: Find the perimeter of the kite whose sides are 18 cm and 26 cm
Solution:
Given
a = 18 cm
b = 26 cm
Perimeter of the kite = 2(a + b)
Perimeter of the kite= 2(18 + 26)
Perimeter of the kite= 88 cm
