Question 1106520: Let's say you draw a kite and are instructed to do these things with it:
1. Construct the diagonals of the kite.
2. use one side of the kite to construct an equilateral triangle outward.
3. Use the 3 vertices of the equilateral triangle and the intersection point of the diagonals to form a new quadrilateral. what is the new quadrilateral called?

It is called a quadrilateral....
We know one angle of the quadrilateral is 90 degrees, because the diagonals of the kite are perpendicular to each other. We also know another angle of the quadrilateral is 60 degrees, because it is an angle of the equilateral triangle.
But we don't know anything about the other two angles; so there is no special name for the quadrilateral.
