That depends on what you are given. The two diagonals will make four right triangles, and you can use the angles, along with other information given to find unknown values. See related link.

What important property do the diagonals of a kite have?
The diagonals are perpendicular to one another. The shorter diagonal is bisected by the longer diagonal. The kite is symmetrical about the longer diagonal. The longer diagonal bisects the angles at each end of the diagonal.
Why is a kite a quadrilateral?
A kite is a quadrilateral because it has four sides. In addition, two of its opposite sides are congruent (equal in length), which is a defining characteristic of a kite.
Does the diagonal of a kite bisect the other diagonal?
Yes and at right angles
What shapes are diagonal perpendicular?
A square, a rhombus and a kite
How do you find the measure of a vertex angle of a kite?
A kite (quadrilateral) has a pair of opposite angles which are the same measure. The diagonals are perpendicular, so you can divide the kite into four right triangles, and solve for those if you're given some dimensions. The diagonal, which connects the two congruent (same) angles, will be cut in half (bisected) by the other diagonal.
The diagonals of a kite?
The longer diagonal bisects the shorter diagonal.
Do the diagonals of a kite bisect each other?
No, they do not. Only the longer diagonal bisects the shorter diagonal.

What is the definition of a kite how a kite works?
a quadrilateral in which diagonal are not congruent and larger diagonal is perpendicular bisector of smaller diagonal then it is known as kite -- M.S. Vighe
What is the definition of a mathematical kite?

Find out What is quadrilateral whose diagonal or perpendicular to each other but unequal?
It is a rhombus or a kite
If the area of a kite is 450 cm and the length of one diagonal is 25 cm what is the length of the other diagonal?
DO this: Take 450=1/2(25+x) then you will get your answer i am in h. geo too!1 So its easy to me .. just remember that!
Does the diagonal of a kite bisect the other diagonal?
Yes and at right angles
Does one diagonal bisect the other of a kite?
Yes, in the figure of a kite one diagonal bisects the other. They do not bisect each other.
Are both pairs of opposite angles congruent of a kite?
Only the two angles which are connected by the shorter diagonal will be congruent. The other two angles will not necessarily be congruent.
How do you figure out the area of a kite?
The formula for the area of a kite is 1/2 * d1 * d2. d1 is the first diagonal, and d2 is the second diagonal.
