Answer:

24 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a kite:

[tex]A_{kite} = \frac{pq}{2}[/tex] where [tex]p[/tex] and [tex]q[/tex] are the length of the two diagonals.

Since the area is given, we have:

[tex]96 cm^2=\frac{8cm\times q}{2}[/tex]

Solving for [tex]q[/tex]:

[tex]q = \frac{2 \times 96cm^2}{8cm}=24cm[/tex]
