A kite has one set of opposite interior angles where the two angles measure
The sum of the interior angles of any polygon can be found by applying the formula:
degrees, where 
is the number of sides in the polygon.
By definition, a kite is a polygon with four total sides (quadrilateral). The sum of the interior angles of any quadrilateral must equal: 
degrees 
degrees 
degrees. Additionally, kites must have two sets of equivalent adjacent sides & one set of congruent opposite angles.
The missing angle can be found by finding the sum of the non-congruent opposite angles. Then divide the difference between 
degrees and the non-congruent opposite angles sum by 
:
This means that 
is the sum of the remaining two angles, which must be opposite congruent angles. Therefore, the measurement for one of the angles is:
