Exercise 23 Page 394

Let's find the measures of the numbered angles one at a time.

Measure of and

Before we begin, let's name the vertices of our kite. We will call it quadrilateral

If a quadrilateral is a kite, then its diagonals are perpendicular. Therefore and

Measure of and

Notice that and are congruent by the Side-Side-Side (SSS) Congruence Theorem. Since corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent, and Because these angles are congruent, we know that their measures are equal.
