Step 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.

Step 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 = $3 	imes 2 = 6$ small squares.
• Area of top-right part = $3 	imes 2 = 6$ small squares.
• Area of bottom-left part = $3 	imes 2 = 6$ small squares.
• Area of bottom-right part = $3 	imes 2 = 6$ small squares.

Step 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 $3 	imes 2 = 6$ small squares for each part.
