I assume you mean bisecting (1) top-to-bottom, (2) side-to-side, (3) top-left-to-bottom-right, and (4) top-right-to-bottom-left. Actually, any straight line through the center bisects the square into two congruent (!) pieces. So there are an infinite number of ways to cut a square into two equal pieces. A very similar answer would apply if you are trying to cut the square into four equal pieces.

Does the angles of a rhombus are never equal?
it is equal because it is only a slanted square or a diamond
Can you draw a rhombus and a square that are congruent?
Yes. A rhombus is a "squashed" square in that every side is equal in length but only opposite angles are equal. The square is a special case of a rhombus where not only are opposite angles equal, but all 4 angles are equal. All squares are rhombuses but not all rhombuses are squares.
What is the only regular quadrilateral?
It is the square which has 4 equal sides and 4 equal interior angles
Can you trisect a right angle into four equal parts using only a compass and a straight edge?
"Trisecting" is cutting into three equal parts, not four. Trisecting is impossible. Cutting into four equal parts is possible though, and trivial once you know how to bisect an angle.
What happens to the area of the square if its side is halved?
Then its area will only be a quater of once it was.
How do you cut a square into 4 equal pieces?
Cut the square along a straight line through the center. Then make another straight-line cut through the center perpendicular to the first. If you are actually trying to cut a square piece of paper into smaller squares, fold one pair of opposite edges together and crease resulting fold. Then do the same with the other pair of opposite edges. The two folds will be your guidelines for cutting. Note that there are other ways to cut the square into four equal pieces, such as cutting it into four rectangles each the full width of the square, but only one quarter as tall.
Why is there 60min in an hour not 10?
If there were 10 minutes in an hour, then you could only split an hour into 2 or 5 equal pieces without cutting up any minutes. With 60 minutes in an hour, you can split an hour into 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, or 30 equal pieces, without cutting up any minutes.
Can you cut a pie into seven pieces by cutting the diameter all the way across 4 times true or false?
Cutting a diameter four time will get you eight pieces of pie, not seven. You cannot get 7 pieces by cutting diameters only; for that you need to cut radii.
How do you cut five pieces of a square only cutting two times?
It is not possible to cut a square with two straight lines and end up with five pieces. The square would have to be cut with two curved lines whose apices intersect with one another. Check the following link for an example: http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee410/thetatemdeluxe/5-cutsquare.jpg
Does cutting the object affects its density?
The density of cutted pieces is identical; of course this is valid only for a homogeneous material.
What is the main differences between a square and a rectangle?
Square has all sides equal. Rectangle has only opposite sides equal. That's the only difference between them.
How do the pieces move in checkers?
Diagonally--they need to stay on the same colored square through the entire game. You can jump pieces, as well. Only one square at a time otherwise.
Is cutting paper into tiny pieces a chemical or physical?
Cutting paper into tiny pieces is a psychical change. This is because the chemical properties of paper are left unchanged and the paper is only reduced to a fraction of its original size, which only affects its physical properties.
How is a square and a rectangle different?
On a square, all four sides are equal in length. A rectangle only has two sets of equal sides.
Does the angles of a rhombus are never equal?
it is equal because it is only a slanted square or a diamond
Can you cut a cake into 9 equal pieces using only cuts?
use a cutter
Can you draw a rhombus and a square that are congruent?
