1) Mark every 1/8 along opposite sides and join corresponding marks to split the square up into 8 rectangles of sides square length and 1/8 square length;

2) Joint the centre points of opposite sides and draw in the two diagonals to split the square up into 8 isosceles right angles triangles with the two shorter sides half the square length;

3) (variation on 2) Join the centre of the square to the centre of each side and each corner with a curved [spiral] line (all going in the same direction);

4) (variation on 1) Join the centre of one pair of opposite sides; mark every 1/4 along the other pair of opposite sides and join them to split the square up into 8 rectangles of sides half square length and quarter square length.

  • Select any side of the square.
  • Bisect the line and select one of the half-lines.
  • Select any one point in this line-segment.
  • Draw a straight line through this point and the centre of the square.
  • Rotate the line through 45%, 90% and 135%.

These four lines will divide the square into eighths.


Since there are infinitely many points in the half-line you have not only 4 but infinitely many ways. And the manner of selecting the first point ensures that each point that is selected will lead to a different way.

What does two and three-eighths plus one and seven-eighths equal?

Two and three-eighths plus one and seven-eighths equals four and two-eighths, which can be to four and one-fourth. Here's how to find the answer. First, you add the two whole numbers together, giving you three. Next, since you are adding two fractions with the same denominator, you add the numerators together, which gives you ten eighths. You then convert that to one and two eighths and add the one to three which is four. Finally, you divide both the numerator and the denominator by two. The final answer is four and one-fourth.

How can you divide squares in to 1 eighths?

by dividing by 6 .and if the eighth is whole then divide by 7 .________________________I have a different take; if I have misunderstood the question then I trust a kind contributor will delete this contribution. The questioner may be asking how to divide a square into pieces each one eighth the size of the original square. The pieces will be right triangles of equal size. They will not all be congruent with one another, however. Four will be congruent with each other, and the remaining four will be congruent with each other. Draw lines connecting opposite vertices; they will meet at the center. Then draw lines connecting the centers of opposite sides.Another way is to end up with 8 identical rectangles. Divide the width into 8 equal parts, and divide the height into 8 equal parts. For example: a square 8 inches per side. Then divide the square into 4 inch by 2 inch rectangles. There will be 8 of them.
