How do you make a 25 by 16 rectangle into a 20 by 20 square in one cut?

I wouldn't have imagined that you could, because your 16 dimension is smaller than your smallest dimension hoped for. If you cut the 25 length down to 20 and stuck the cut off bit on the other side, it'd still be too long (16+5 cut off = 21)

If you cut a rectangle in half does it make a square?
No. There is no way you can cut one rectangle in half and only get one square. The other half would also have to be a square and this will only happen if the proportions are 1:2 and you cut the long sides.There are infinitely many ways to cut a rectangle in half none of which result in new rectangles. Only if the rectangle has proportions 1:2 can cutting it in half make a square, in fact the result could be two squares, not one.

So for example if the suare has 4 sides and one side is cut off (some of it) its not a rectangle or a square.. So the first thing that would come to your mind is... What shape is this ? (:

Can 2 triangles make a square or a rectangle?
Yes, they can. To demonstrate this draw a square on a sheet of paper. Draw a line diagonally from one corner to the one opposite. Cut along this line and you will have two triangles. Take them apart; if you put them together again in the right way you will have a square. Put together in different ways you can make an isosceles triangle or an equilateral parallelogram. If you do the same thing beginning with a rectangle, you will be able to reassemble the triangles to form a rectangle, isosceles triangle or a (non-equilateral) parallelogram.
