A Rhombus. If it makes two equilateral triangles with a diagonal, the shape must have all four sides of equal length; thus it is a rhombus, possibly a square. As an equilateral triangle is made, the angle between two of the sides is 60o; which is not 90o, so it can't be a square, so it must be a rhombus.
The difference is a rhombus is made up of 2 acute and 2 obtuse angles and a square is made up of 4 right angles. On a square, both of the diagonals equal each other, but on a rhombus the diagonals can equal each other, but it's possible for them to not equal each other.
A right angle triangle is made up of one 90 degree angle and two acute angles and the three angles add up to 180 degrees.

It can be made from a big triangle and the rhombus.Place the triangle so that its long side is vertical. Place the rhombus so that its acute vertex touches the top vertex of the triangle and the rhombus's side aligns with the side of the triangle.The following is a crude attempt to illustrate - it is the best that this browser will allow.t\rrrrtt\rrrrttt\rrrrtttt\rrrrtttttttttttttttttttttt
a triangle is special because it is can be made up of 2 right angles.
A right angle triangle or an isosceles triangle.
Oh, absolutely! You can create a rhombus using tangram pieces by combining a large triangle and a parallelogram piece together. Place the parallelogram on top of the triangle with one of its longer sides aligned with the base of the triangle. This will form a lovely rhombus shape that showcases the beauty of geometry and creativity. Just remember, there are no mistakes in tangrams, only happy little accidents!

A generalization that is made after seeing only one or two examples
no, it is impossible an angle of an equilateral triangle is always 60 degrees it can't be 90 degree

No because they do not form a Pythagorean triple.
A triangle can have one angle made up of perpendicular lines. That would be called a right triangle. A triangle cannot have more than one angle made up of perpendicular lines however. To see why, remember that an angle created by two perpendicular lines is 90 degrees and a triangle is made up of three angles that sum to 180 degrees. If two angles were 90 degrees the third angle would have to be 0 degrees, in which case the shape is no longer a triangle.
