Chapter 11.2, Problem 15PPS

To determine

To find: The area of the identified shape.

Answer to Problem 15PPS

The area of the shape is $24.48{\text{microns}}^2$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given diagram is shown in Figure 1

  

Figure 1

Calculation:

The given shape is the shape of the kite.

Consider the area of the kite is,

  $A=\frac{d_1{d}_2}{2}$

Then,

  $\begin{array}{c}A=\frac{\left(4.8\right)\left(10.2\right)}{2}\\ =\frac{48.96}{2}\\ =24.48{\text{microns}}^2\end{array}$
