To determine if the parts of the rectangle that Kyrie divided are equal, we need to consider the dimensions of the rectangle and how it is partitioned into the 8 parts.
-
Understanding the Partitioning: If Kyrie drew one vertical line and one horizontal line to partition the rectangle, it likely divides the rectangle into 8 smaller rectangles or shapes. This is typically done by dividing the rectangle into sections.
-
Equal Parts: For the parts to be equal, the vertical and horizontal lines must be placed in such a way that the resulting sections have the same area.
- If the vertical line divides the rectangle into two equal halves and the horizontal line divides the same rectangle into two equal horizontal sections, then the resulting intersection of these lines would produce 4 equal rectangles. Each would be a quarter of the original rectangle.
- However, if the vertical line divides one half into different widths or the horizontal line does not split the height evenly, the areas of the resulting smaller parts will not be equal.
-
Conclusion: Without specific measurements of how Kyrie partitioned the rectangle, we cannot definitively state that all 8 parts are equal. If the partitioning is done symmetrically and evenly, then yes, the parts would be equal. If not, then they would likely differ in size or area.
In summary, the equality of the parts depends on how the vertical and horizontal lines were drawn. If they create equal sections, then the parts are equal; otherwise, they are not.
