look at diagram to understand the soluiton

A=(1/2)ab where a is one diagonal and b is the other
A=(1/2)(5.3)(6)
A=(3)(5.3)
A=15.9

Answer: The area of the kite is 15.9 sq. ft.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a kite has diagonals of lengths 5.3 ft and 6 ft.

We are to find the area of the kite.

We know that the area of a kite having diagonals of length 'p' units and 'q' units is

\(A=\dfrac{p\times q}{2}.\)

Here, p = 5.3 ft and q = 6 ft.

Therefore, the area of the kite will be

\(A\dfrac{p\times q}{2}=\dfrac{5.3\times 6}{2}=5.3\times 3=15.9~\textup{sq. ft}.\)

Thus, the correct option is (B) 15.9 sq. ft.
