Is this all the information you are given? And I really don't understand what you are asking for. 6 triangles, a trapezoid, what kind of polygons are you looking for?

If I change angle alpha to 90, what figure can I get?
 
Trapezoid to Kite

If the angle of alpha change to 90 degree.
I think I will get a "Kite".
Am I Right?

No, it will just be a trapezoid with perpendicular diagonals. I don't think there is a special name for this, in general.

Not all quadrilaterals with perpendicular diagonals are kites. If the result were a kite, it would in fact be a rhombus.

EDIT:
But you also said that AB = CD, without calling that a change! (I had assumed you really meant parallel, since that is what the picture shows.) That alone makes it a parallelogram; perpendicular diagonals make that a rhombus.
