Four parallel lines through it.
Select any one side and divide its length into 5 equal parts. Draw lines that are parallel to the adjacent side to the opposite side. This will divide the rectangle into 5 equal strips.
Eight of them.
When dividing one of for having one line parallel to one another.
Divide each side into three equal parts. Then join the division marks on opposite sides with straight lines parallel to the other side(s).
Draw 2 parallel lines which will result in 3 equal rectangles within the same square.
Eight twelfths is equal to two thirds because when you divide both top and bottom by 4, you are left with 2/3.
divide a square into eighths
one over eight
A quadrilateral has four sides that may or may not be equal or parallel If two sides are parallel and the other sides equal but not parallel it is a trapezoid
