Answer:
BC:BN=8:3
Step-by-step explanation:
ABCD is a trapezoid and there is a point m which belongs to AD such that AM:MD=3:5.Line "l" parallel to AB intersects the diagonal AC at p and BD at N.
Now, we know that the parallel lines divide the transversal into the segments with equal ratio, therefore, BN:NC=AM:MD
But, BC= BN+NC
Therefore, BC:BN=(BN+NC):BN
⇒BC:BN=(3+5):3
⇒BC:BN=8:3
How about this (see attached image):
Use the four cuts as shown in the image (red lines).
Then assemble 5 equal squares by the numbers: 1 center square and the rest are pieced together using two pieces as shown. All five together add up to the same area as original square because we use all pieces.
The way one gets a hint toward a solution is to see how an area of a square of length 1 can be split into 5 equal square areas:

which indicates we need to find a a triangle with sides 2 and 1 to get the hypotenuse of the right length. That gave rise to the cut pattern (if you look carefully, there are triangles with those side lengths).
