Area of a kite on the ACT

October 14, 2026 · 5 min read

Area of a kite is half the product of the diagonals: (d₁ × d₂) / 2. A rhombus uses the same diagonal formula, in area of a rhombus.

Diagonals, not four sides

Side length alone is not the area. Similar solids are a different leftover, in similar solids. Area and volume as a set are in area and volume.

The bottom line

(d₁d₂)/2. You need both diagonals.
