A rectangle can be partitioned into nonoverlapping, same-sized squares that cover the entire rectangle without gaps or overlaps. The squares may be arranged in rows and columns, allowing the total number of parts to be found by counting; the focus is on equal partitioning and geometric structure, not on area formulas, fractional measurements, or generalized rules for larger dimensions.
A rectangle can be split into equal squares. The squares should fit together like a neat row-and-column grid, with no spaces and no overlaps.
Example: Partition a rectangle into equal squares.
The rectangle is partitioned into 6 equal squares. Each square is the same size, and together they cover the whole rectangle.
