16. Does this shape show thirds?
Explain.

No

Step-by-step explanation:

This shape does not show thirds. Although the shape is cut up into 3 shapes, the shapes are not equal. Imaging a cake... would you be happy if your friend got the rectangle, but you got the square. Cutting something into thirds is the same way. They all need to be equal.

No, It shows 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The small squares would constitute to a total of 4, so it shows 2/4 which is 1/2

area of part 1:

a1=base*height/2=(8+2)*(8-2-2-1)/2=10*3/2=15 ft^2

area of part 2:

a2=length*width=(8+2)*1=10 ft2

area of part 3:

a3=length*width=8*2=16 ft2

total shaded area : a1+a2+a3=41 ft2

total area of the reactangle : a=16*8=128 ft2

total area of the nonshaded region : 128-41=87 ft2
