Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Identify the dimensions of each part.

    The rectangle is divided into four smaller rectangles by thick lines.

    • The top-left part is 3 small squares wide and 2 small squares high.
    • The top-right part is 3 small squares wide and 2 small squares high.
    • The bottom-left part is 3 small squares wide and 2 small squares high.
    • The bottom-right part is 3 small squares wide and 2 small squares high.
  2. Calculate the area of each part.

    The area of each part is found by multiplying its width by its height (in terms of small squares).

    • Area of top-left part = 3×2=63 \times 2 = 6 small squares.
    • Area of top-right part = 3×2=63 \times 2 = 6 small squares.
    • Area of bottom-left part = 3×2=63 \times 2 = 6 small squares.
    • Area of bottom-right part = 3×2=63 \times 2 = 6 small squares.
  3. Compare the areas.

    Since each of the four parts has an area of 6 small squares, their areas are equal.

    3) Yes, the four parts of the rectangle are equal in area. We know this because each part is a rectangle with dimensions of 3 small squares by 2 small squares, resulting in an area of 3×2=63 \times 2 = 6 small squares for each part.
