To find the area of the kite shown in the image, we can use the formula for the area of a kite:

\[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times d_1 \times d_2 \]

where:
- \(d_1\) and \(d_2\) are the lengths of the diagonals of the kite.

From the image, we have:
- One diagonal \(d_1 = 10 \text{ m}\) (since it is composed of two segments of 5 m each),
- The other diagonal \(d_2 = 4 \text{ m}\).

Plugging these values into the formula:

\[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \text{ m} \times 4 \text{ m} \]
\[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 40 \text{ m}^2 \]
\[ \text{Area} = 20 \text{ m}^2 \]

Therefore, the area of the kite is \(20 \text{ m}^2\).
