It means to divide the shape into 4 equal quarters.
Cut it in half through its centre. Then cut each half into half. You will have four fourths.
You can divide it into halfs, fourths, eighths, sixteenths, thirty seconds, etc.
Divide it by four
You divide 3 by 4.

That depends on the size of the pentagon, and whether it is regular or not. In general, you can divide the pentagon into three triangles, and calculate the area of each triangle separately.
Divide it by four
You divide 3 by 4.
One possible way to divide a pentagon into five parts is (assuming this is a convex pentagon) to start by placing a dot directly in the center. Then, draw a 5 lines from that center dot connecting to the 5 points around the edge of the pentagon. You should now have 5 triangles instead of 1 pentagon.
Since a pentagon has 5 sides, you divide the perimeter by 5.
Sure, you can divide a pentagon into 4 parts by drawing two diagonals from one vertex to the opposite vertex, creating four triangles inside the pentagon. So technically, yes, you can divide a pentagon into 4 parts. But good luck trying to fit them back together perfectly!
Two fourths is equivalent to 50% because when you divide 2 by 4 and multiply the result by 100, you get 50.
The simplest way is to divide the pentagon into three triangles, calculate the area of each of them and sum the answers.
