does nayone know a way to divide a segment in fourths? and explain please?

Answer 1

Hey Sofa P,

I assume you mean a line segment. You use a compass on the end points of the line segment. Then strike arcs just beyond what you know is the half way mark, the arcs should intersect at two locations. Draw a line between the 2 intersection points, which will divide the line into 2 halves. Now repeat that process for each half. You will have 4 segments of equal lenght when done.

I provided a web site that explains how to bisect a line.

Answer 2

Divide it into halves.

Then divide each half into halves. This will give you 4 equal parts.
