Simple enough.
The kite can be divided into two triangles . Triangle ABD and BCD .
length of BD equals to 4 units (5-1) .
the height of the triangle ABC can be found by measuring the perpendicular from A to the line segment BD, which is is 2 units . Now the area of the triangle can be found by the following formula .
Area=1/2 *Base *Hight
ar.ABD=1/2*4*2=4 sq. units.
similarly the area of BCD can be found by measuring the perpendicular from C to the line BD which is 5 units and thus the area is 10 sq. units.
The total area =10+4=14.
