taught this when I was at school. Does anyone else remember being taught about arrowhead as a shape at school - is it different in different in other parts of the world?

I can see exactly the shape you are describing. I think of it as being a boomerang, myself, and I do not think I was actually taught any of its properties in school. "Arrowhead" may not be the best name for it, though, because many people probably think of an arrowhead in terms of a Native American arrowhead, which is triangular. However, Wikipdedia does recognize arrowhead as the name for a concave kite-like quadrilateral, but also suggests the name "dart," and it does not have an article for it under either name. So it's valid, but may not be clear to everybody if you use it without a description.

I don't remember being taught the arrowhead, but I do remember being taught the kite, and I assume the properties are similar, since the kite just has one angle difference from the arrowhead.

What's the fourth side? I can think of an arrowhead having 3 sides or more than four.

authentic, yet greater desirable answer is that that's a rhombus. All rhobuses are parallelograms, yet all parallelograms are no longer rhombuses. If to boot, one attitude is an ideal attitude, then all are perfect angles and that's a sq..
