Yes you can, but you have to use zig zag lines. Using straight lines there are only four ways to divide a square into two equal parts (along the lines of symmetry).
To divide a square into 11 pieces using four straight lines, you can create a grid pattern with three vertical lines and one horizontal line. The horizontal line divides the square into two equal halves, while the three vertical lines create four equal sections within each half. This results in a total of 8 pieces within the square. To achieve 11 pieces, you can further divide some of the larger sections into smaller pieces by adding diagonal lines within them.
Divide each side into three equal parts. Then join the division marks on opposite sides with straight lines parallel to the other side(s).
Select any side. Divide its length into 8 equal sections using 7 points. From each division point, draw a line parallel to to the adjacent side across the parallelogram. The seven lines will divide the parallelogram into 8 pieces.
There are an infinite number of lines that can divide a triangle into two parts with equal areas. The medians are one set of such lines.
