Prove: If a quadrilateral is a kite, its diagonals are perpendicular.

	Statements		Reasons
1.	kite ABCD	1.	Given
2.		2.	A kite has 2 distinct sets of congruent adjacent sides.
3.	;	3.	Reflexive property.
4.		4.	SSS - if 3 sides of 1 Δ are to the corres. parts of other Δ, the Δs are .
5.	∠ABD ∠CBD	5.	CPCTC-corres partsΔs are
6.		6.	SAS - if 2 sides and the included ∠ of 1 Δ are to the corres. parts of other Δ, the Δs are .
7.		7.	CPCTC-corres partsΔs are
8.		8.	A segment bisector forms two congruent segments.

There is only ONE diagonal that bisects the other.
Diagonal does not bisect diagonal . Since by the definition of a kite,
will not be the sides of two congruent triangles.
