a company designs a logo using a kite figure around the letter t. the logo is 12 centimeters wide and 16…

Explanation:

Step1: Recall kite - area formula

The area formula for a kite is $A=\frac{1}{2}d_1d_2$, where $d_1$ and $d_2$ are the lengths of the diagonals of the kite.

Step2: Identify the diagonals

The width of the logo represents one diagonal $d_1 = 12$ cm and the height of the logo represents the other diagonal $d_2=16$ cm.

Step3: Calculate the area

Substitute $d_1 = 12$ and $d_2 = 16$ into the formula $A=\frac{1}{2}\times12\times16$. First, $12\times16 = 192$, then $\frac{1}{2}\times192=96$ square - centimeters.

Answer:

96 sq. cm
