Extract

Martin Josefsson [1] has coined the term ‘bisect-diagonal quadrilateral’ for a quadrilateral with at least one diagonal bisected by the other diagonal, and extensively explored some of its properties. This quadrilateral has also been called a ‘bisecting quadrilateral’ [2], a ‘sloping-kite’ or ‘sliding-kite’ [3], or ‘slant kite’ [4]. The purpose of this paper is to explore some more properties of this quadrilateral.
