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.
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.

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.

You divide 3 by 4.
Since a pentagon has 5 sides, you divide the perimeter by 5.
The simplest way is to divide the pentagon into three triangles, calculate the area of each of them and sum the answers.
A pentagon is a 5 sided polygon and if reshaped into 4 parts then it would be a 4 sided quadrilateral.
Two fourths is equivalent to 50% because when you divide 2 by 4 and multiply the result by 100, you get 50.
If the pentagon is regular all you need do is divide 540 by 5. If it isn't regular, we can't help.
