Evaluating geometric division possibilities for a rectangle

Evaluate the geometric partitions of the 20 × 8 rectangle:

Statement 1: Can we cut it exactly into 4 squares? The text does not say the squares must be identical. Cut an 8 × 8 square from the edge. Remaining area = 12 × 8. Cut another 8 × 8 square. Remaining area = 4 × 8. Cut the 4 × 8 rectangle in half to yield two 4 × 4 squares. We have exactly 4 squares (two 8 × 8, two 4 × 4) that perfectly consume the sheet without waste. Valid.

Statement 2: Can we cut it into 10 equal-area triangles? Divide the rectangle into 5 equal vertical strips of 4 × 8. Draw a single diagonal line across each of these 5 strips. This splits every rectangle into 2 identical right-angled triangles. Total = 5 × 2 = 10 equal-area triangles. Valid.

Answer: (c).
