Let us make a drawing to understand the situation:

By the definition of kites, we have that the red sides are congruent (namely, they have the same length), and the black sides are congruent as well. Then, the triangles


\bigtriangleup ABD\cong\bigtriangleup CBD

are congruent (SSS criteria). When two triangles are congruent, corresponding angles are congruent as well. Then, for angle A and angle C are corresponding angles, we have


\measuredangle A\cong\leq C

prove the kites have a pair of congruent opposite angles given kits is a kiteprove-example-1
