How can I control a polygon-split into equal parts by size?

[AlexandreHughes1]

Hello,

I have an irregular polygon. It looks something like the crude drawing to follow outlined in red. I want to break it into smaller polygons so that the polygon is roughly equal to a 40-by-40 foot square--or as near to it as possible. I have not been able to locate any resource that can automate this for me or somehow make my life easier. If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be appreciated.

Yep. Looking at active transportation on campus for a before-and-after policy analysis.

Robert, I think I was overthinking the whole issue. While it is both embarrassing and disheartening I think I found what I needed in a youtube tutorial on how to create a grid. I think ultimately this will be the best choice.

Thanks so much!
