A kite has a width of 16 inches and a height of 18 inches.

Jasmine made three kites like the one shown. How much total material did she use?

432 inch square

Step-by-step explanation:

The total material used to make a kite should be equal to the area of the kite. You can find the area of a kite by multiplying the width with length, then divide it by two. The formula will be:

area = length x width / 2

area = 18 in * 16 in / 2 = 144 inch square.

The area of one kite is 144 inch square, then the area for 3 kites will be: 3 * 144 inch square = 432 inch square
