Cake division problem for 6th graders

The cake is a large rectangle with a small part missing as shown in the picture. With just one cut, can you find a way to divide this cake equally?

Tam and Hang prepared a birthday cake for Tung. The cake was rectangular. It was a delicious cake! While Tam was decorating, Hang couldn't resist the delicious taste of the cake so she secretly cut and ate a rectangular part as shown in the picture.

At the party, Tung and Tam wanted to punish Hang for eating first. They decided not to share the cake with Hang anymore. They wanted to divide the remaining cake equally to eat.

With a straight cut and 3 minutes of thinking, help Tung and Tam divide the cake.
