In the kite, angle 1 is 39°, and angle 2 is 51°. Diagonals AC and BD intersect at right angles, confirming these angle measures.

Given figure is a kite.

The diagram is not drawn to scale.

We have to find the measure of angle 1 and 3 in the kite.

From the figure,

Kites have two sets of equivalent adjacent sides and one set up of congruent opposite angles.

So, sides AB and AD are equivalent adjacent sides.

m∠1 = 39°

AC and BD are diagonals.

Diagonals of a kite always meet at right angles.

Let the diagonals intersect at point O.

From right triangle AOB,

m∠1 + m∠2 + m∠O = 180°

39° + m∠2 + 90° = 180°

m∠2 = 180° - 90° - 39°

m∠2 = 90° - 39°

m∠2 = 51°

Therefore, m∠1 = 39° and m∠2 = 51°.
