Answer

We must prove that the two triangles created are similar: 1. On the Kite, it is given that JK equals LK and that HL equals HJ. 2. HK is equal to itself by the identity property. 3. Thus, $\triangle$HJK is congruent to $\triangle$HLK by SSS. 4. CPCTC, so HK must create equal angles on either side of it. 5. By the definition of bisector, this meas that HK is a bisector.
