The amount of material is the area of the kite
The amount of material needed for the entire kite is 48 square inches
How to determine the amount of material
The given parameters:
- KI =6 inches
- ET = 8 inches
- KT=10 inches
- Area of ΔKIT = 17 square inches
Start by calculating the area of the bottom triangle using:
[tex]Area = 0.5 * base * height[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]Area = 0.5 * KI * KT[/tex]
This gives
[tex]Area = 0.5 * 6* 10[/tex]
[tex]Area = 30[/tex]
The amount of material used is the sum of both areas
[tex]Material = 30 + 17[/tex]
[tex]Material = 47[/tex]
This approximates to 48
Hence, 48 square inches of material is used for the entire kite
