Can all rectangles be cut in half vertically or horizontally to make two smaller rectangles that are the the same size and the same shape?

Yes.


Can 2 rectangles make a square?

All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares. Basically, a square is a rectangle where all sides are the same length. However, providing that the width is half of the length, or vice versa, and you join the two rectangles along the one of the sides that is longer, two rectangles can make a square. Example: 1x2 rectangle joined with another 1x2 rectangle will make a 2x2 square.


Why do mathematicians chose to measure area in squares instead of in rectangles or triangles or circles?

Because they (IMO) have the simplest area to find, to just square side. Triangles are half of a square Rectangles are uneven. Circles are rounded, and hard to find the area of. Plus, a square has 2 equal dimensions, so think 2D.


If There are two rectangles a triangle and half a circle what is total area?

That will depend on their dimensions which have not been given.


When you fold a square paper vertically the new rectangle has a perimeter of 39 inches what is the original area of the square?

169 square inches. Folding the square in half leaves 2 edges of the original side length and two of half the side length. Therefore: perimeter = side + 1/2 side + side + 1/2 side = 3 sides ⇒ 3 sides = 39 inches ⇒ 1 side = 39 inches ÷ 3 = 13 inches ⇒ area_original_square = 13 inches x 13 inches = 169 square inches.

Can all rectangles be cut in half vertically or horizontally to make two smaller rectangles that are the same size and same shape?

Yes cutting a rectangle in half (either horizontally or vertically) will yield two smaller rectangles (each of which is the same size and shape as the other).

Yes, you can cut a rectangle any way you please.


Why Can all rectangles be cut in half vertically or horizontally to make to congruent rectangles?

They make two congruent rectangles, not to rectangles! This is because the line joining the midpoints of opposite sides are lines of [reflective] symmetry.
