A kite has two pairs of adjacent equal sides. When its diagonals are known, the area is half the product of the diagonals, using the same diagonal area structure as a rhombus.
⚠Diagonal lengths must be nonnegative. The formula assumes the diagonals are the full diagonal lengths.
How Kite Area Works
The diagonals divide the kite into triangles. The combined triangle areas simplify into one half of the diagonal product.
Adjacent Sides
A kite has two pairs of adjacent equal sides.
Diagonals
The formula uses both full diagonals.
Triangle Split
Diagonals divide the kite into triangles.
Area Product
Half the diagonal product gives area.
💡 Example: For diagonals 12 and 5, A=12*5/2=30.
