The length of a kiwi's beak varies according to the species, but a general rule is that the beak is about one-third of the length of the kiwi's body. Therefore, on a 45cm bird, the beak would extend for around 15 cm.
Technically, however, a beak is measured from the nostrils to the end of the beak. As a Kiwi's nostrils are close to the end and not near the head, as with most birds, this part of the Kiwi's beak is very short.
