Each kite measures 6 inches across and 12 inches long. the wall is 12 feet across. how many square inches of the wall will be covered with kites? •216 •432 •864 •1,728

We know that
the area of a Kite is half the product of the diagonals
so
A=(D1*D2)/2

step 1
find the area of a kite
in this problem
A=6*12/2> 36 in²

step 2
The wall is 12 feet across> convert to inches
1 ft is equal to 12 in
so
12ft=12*12> 144 in

step 3
divide 144 in by 6 in (across kite)
144/6=24 (number of a kites in the wall)

step 4
Multiply the number of kites by the area of one kite

24*36=864 in²

the answer is
864 in²
