5 ways to divide a square into 4 equal parts?

Answer 2

Sure thing, honey. One way to divide a square into 4 equal parts is by drawing two diagonal lines from opposite corners. Another way is by drawing a horizontal line halfway up the square and a vertical line halfway across. You can also get creative and cut the square into quarters using a pair of scissors if you're feeling crafty. Just make sure those parts are equal, darling.

Answer 3

Let the sides of the square be AB, BC, CD and DA and the corners be a, b, c and d.

1) Draw a line from the midpoint of AB to the midpoint of CD, and another line from the midpoint of BC to the midpoint of DA.

2) Draw a line from b to d and another from a to c.

3) Divide AB into 4 equal portions. Draw lines parallel to BC.

4) Draw lines from a, d and the midpoint of DA to the midpoint of BC.

5) Draw lines from the midpoint of each side to the midpoint of the two adjacent sides, and a final line from the midpoint of DA to the midpoint of BC. In this case two corner triangles from the top half have to be combined to equal the central triangle - and this is repeated with the lower half of the square.
