One side of the rectangle is 8 cm, and the other is 2 times shorter. Can this rectangle be divided into 2 squares?

1) Let’s make a diagram:

Length – 8 cm

Width – 2 times <than length

Can be divided into 2 squares -?

2) Find the width of the rectangle:

8/2 = 4 (cm) – width

3) A square is a rectangle in which all sides are equal.

4) If you mark half of the length of the rectangle and draw a perpendicular, you will get two rectangles 4 cm long and 4 cm wide, that is, two squares.

Answer: This rectangle can be divided into two squares.
