Question

1. reinforce what are the dimensions and the area of the rectangle that can be made from the kite?
2. reinforce what are the dimensions and the area of the rectangle that can be made from the trapezoid?

Explanation:

Step1: Find kite's total height

$4 + 3 = 7$ in

Step2: Set rectangle dimensions

Length = $\frac{7}{2}$ in, Width = $\frac{7}{2}$ in

Step3: Calculate kite rectangle area

$\frac{7}{2} \times \frac{7}{2} = \frac{49}{2} = 24.5$ in²

Step4: Find trapezoid base length

$7 + 2 = 9$ cm

Step5: Set trapezoid rectangle dimensions

Length = 9 cm, Width = 4 cm

Step6: Calculate trapezoid rectangle area

$9 \times 4 = 36$ cm²

Answer:

1. For the kite:

• Dimensions: $\frac{7}{2}$ inches by $\frac{7}{2}$ inches (or 3.5 in by 3.5 in)
• Area: 24.5 square inches

1. For the trapezoid:

• Dimensions: 9 cm by 4 cm
• Area: 36 square cm
