Geometric Kite
Geometric Kite: a composite plane figure made of a triangle with base 5.6 cm and height 2.6 cm, joined with a triangle with base 5.6 cm and height 5 cm. It is a classic middle school geometry problem (“Composite Polygons”). The net area is 21.28 cm² and the total perimeter is 19.1 cm.

Area of each basic shape before the Boolean composition.
How to find the area
Area formula: A = ½·d₁·(h₁ + h₂) = ½·D·d
Split the figure into basic shapes, find each area, add the joined parts and subtract the cut-outs: A = 7.28 + 14 = 21.28 cm².
