Problem of the Week LET’S GO FLY A KITE Jordana is going to make a kite that she can fly during Washington DC’s Smithsonian Kite Festival. She starts by making a pattern on large graph paper. The equations for the lines that enclose/outline the kite are y = (2/3)x + 30, y = (-2/3)x + 50, y = -2x + 30 and y = 2x – 30. What is the area, in square units, of Jordana’s quadrilateral kite pattern? LAST WEEK’S ANSWER: 180°
