Question

cut the parallelogram into thirds.
connect two dots to make a cut.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify segment division

The top and bottom sides are split into 3 equal parts by the dots, so each segment is $\frac{1}{3}$ of the side length.

Step2: Connect matching division dots

Connect the first dot on the top side (from left) to the first dot on the bottom side (from left), then connect the second dot on the top side to the second dot on the bottom side.

Answer:

1. Connect the leftmost division dot on the top edge to the leftmost division dot on the bottom edge.
2. Connect the middle division dot on the top edge to the middle division dot on the bottom edge.

These two cuts divide the parallelogram into three congruent parallelograms, each with $\frac{1}{3}$ of the original area.
