Evenly draw a line to split the shape in half. In this case, we have a square, so we can cut in many places such as the two diagonals, vertically, and horizontally.
There are many different triangles that have an area of three square inches, here's one way to draw one: Draw a rectangle whose area is six square inches (or imagine what one's dimensions would be, e.g. 6x1 or 3x2) and cut it in half diagonally to make a right triangle that has an area of three square inches.

cut in half then cut both halves in half again
A rectangle.
Draw a square and cut it in half from the middle of the top line to the middle of the bottom line. Draw another square just to the right, using that line as its left side. Note that you will only have to draw half of the square. You now have 3 halves.

It can be done easily in an infinite number of ways. Select any point on the perimeter of the square and cut from there, through the centre of the square, to the opposite perimeter. All in a straight line.
How many ways can you cut a square in half. Cut along either diagonal Fold the square in half vertically or horizontally 4 axes of symettry
square
A triangle
A rectangle.
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.
That depends on its dimensions.
