I want to see how you derived the formula for calculating area of a kite
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The diagonals divide a kite in four right-angled triangles.
One of the two diagonals divide a kite in two isosceles triangles.
(These are almost direct and immediate consequences of a kite definition).
Let us consider that diagonal. Let
be its length.
The area of one isosceles triangle is
, where
is its height.
The area of the second isosceles triangle is
, where
is the height of the second isosceles triangle.
The area of the kite is the sum of these expression, and the sum is equal to
,
where
is the second diagonal's length.
So, the final formula is S =
, where the diagonal lengths participate.
