- Slice the square into 8 rectangles with horizontal cuts.
- Slice the square into 8 rectangles with vertical cuts.
- Slice the square into 4 smaller squares with one horizontal and one vertical cut, then divide each square into two pieces with a single cut each.
- Do some other series of 3 cuts that achieves the upper bound of 7 in the lazy caterer's sequence then make one cut that divides one of the pieces in two.

Hello everyone. Supposing there is a square area (x,y coordinates) given by the user is it possible to divide the area into non overlapping polygons (let's say 8 polygons for example) and then check which polygon contains a single pair of coordinates? In the meantime i am trying to figure it out and if there is any progress I will post it as a comment. Any help is most welcome. Thanks in advance.

Many different ways.
What requirements do you have on the polygons into which you want to cut the square?
