72

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a kite is half the product (multiplication) of the diagonals.

Each diagonal has length 12, so A = (1/2)(12)(12) = (1/2)(144) = 72.

Note:  You can also find the area by finding the areas of the 4 right triangles.  By the way, the diagonals are perpendicular, so all 4 triangles are right triangles.

Area of a small triangle:  Area = (1/2)(base)(height)  A = (1/2)(2)(6) = 6.

Area of a larger triangle:  A = (1/2)(10)(6) = 30

Total area: 2 small triangles plus 2 larger triangles A = 2(6) + 2(30) = 72
