Partitioning Rectangles and Columns

This video tutorial teaches how to partition a rectangle into equal columns by dividing it into equal parts. It explains the concept of partitioning, emphasizing that partition lines must be equally spaced to ensure the columns are equal. The tutorial clarifies that columns are vertical and defines what equally spaced means, ensuring the lines are the same distance apart. The lesson concludes with a recap of the key points covered.
