Draw and write to explain how you can divide a rectangle into thirds in two different ways

We can divide or partition a rectangle into thirds in two different ways by dividing the rectangle either horizontally or vertically such that each partition that is created on dividing it have equal area or equal share of the original rectangle and hence the partitions  are similar.

The figure that denotes this partition is attached to the answer.

step-by-step explanation:

|ab| = 1.4 = 4

h = 1.4 = 4

a(abc) area = 4.4 = 16/2 = 8

area of abc = 8 cm^2

reduce the friction between its moving parts

step-by-step explanation:

in fact, by reducing the friction between the moving parts of the machine, it is possible to reduce the energy wasted due to this friction; therefore, more input energy is converted into useful work, and this will improve the efficiency of the machine.
