there are two ways to do this.
1) draw a vertical line 1 square from the left edge, then a horizontal line one square down from the top edge
or 2) a vertical line 2 squares from the edge and a horizontal line 2 squares down from the top

A line 1/6th from one side, perpendicular.
Another line horizontal. Parallel to the bottom.

... you will then have 1 big square & 1 small square + 2 same size rectangles

(6x6 is the same as 4x4 for this purpose)

Can you divide an 8 x 8 square, area 64, into a rectangle of area 65?

nescio

zebo,
that is the one where you divide the 8x8 square into two triangles and two trapezia, then reassemble them into an apparent 13x5 rectangle, but the slightly different angles mean there is actually a long gap along the diagonal, which accounts for the missing area

Exactly, it's a bit of a con, the gradient is sligfhtly different along the diagonal, don't know how to post the picture!
