The kite shown has a width of 24 inches and a total height of 42 inches. What is the total area of the kite without the tail? Show your work for full credit.

504 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a kite is given by :

(a * b) / 2

Where a and b are the width and height of the kite :

Width = 24 inches ; height = 42 inches

Hence,

Area of kite = (24 * 42) / 2

Area of kite = 24 * 21

Area of kite = 504 in²
