Question

the squares shown above have the same size whole
what is true about the way the squares are cut?
a. the squares are each cut into four unequal shares, and the two squares are both cut into the same shapes
b. the squares are each cut into four equal shares, and the squares are both cut into the same shapes
c. the squares are each cut into four unequal shares, and the two squares are each cut into different shapes
d. the squares are each cut into four equal shares, but the squares are each cut into different shapes

Explanation:

The first square is divided into four equal - sized triangles by its diagonals. The second square is divided into four equal - sized smaller squares. So, both squares are divided into four equal shares, but the shapes (triangles vs. smaller squares) are different.

Answer:

D. The squares are each cut into four equal shares, but the squares are each cut into different shapes
