Question

Find the area of the kite. Round your answer to the nearest tenth, if necessary.

The image displays a geometrical shape known as a kite. It appears to be formed by two pairs of adjacent sides that are of unequal lengths. In this image:

- The overall shape is symmetrical with respect to its vertical axis.
- The vertical distance from the top point to the bottom point of the kite is labeled as 17 meters.
- The horizontal distance between the two points on the kite's horizontal axis is labeled as 8 meters.
- The top two sides of the kite are each labeled as 10 meters in length.

This geometrical shape can be used to explore properties related to symmetry, side lengths, and the calculation of area in a kite. One can also apply the Pythagorean theorem to determine additional properties of this shape.
