Question

Kyrie drew a rectangle and partitioned it into 8 parts as shown. Are the parts equal? Explain.

Answer 1

To determine if the parts of the rectangle that Kyrie partitioned are equal, we need to examine the dimensions and layout of each part.

1. **Shape and Size**: If the rectangle was divided into 8 distinct parts based on equal area, the areas of each part would need to be the same for them to be considered equal. If Kyrie partitioned the rectangle into smaller rectangles or squares of the same dimensions, then each part would be equal in area.

2. **Arrangement**: If the parts vary in shape or dimensions — for example, some being larger or smaller rectangles or triangles — then the areas will differ, and therefore, the parts would not be equal.

If you have a specific diagram or additional information about how the rectangle was partitioned (like the sizes of each part), I can provide a more detailed analysis. In general, you need to assess whether each part occupies the same area to answer the question about their equality.
