Answer 2

No

Explanation:

This shape does not show thirds. Although the shape is cut up into 3 shapes, the shapes are not equal. Imaging a cake... would you be happy if your friend got the rectangle, but you got the square. Cutting something into thirds is the same way. They all need to be equal.
