How do you get 8 sections by using 3 straight lines and a circle?

I can make maximum of 7 sections ( in addition to 4,5, and 6).
To do that, make a plus "+" sigh dividing circle into 4 parts. Now play with 3rd line to make it cut through three quadrants making an additional 3 sections.
Hint: start third line passing 0,0 and dividing two opposite quadrants. Keep this line moving into one of the quadrants that hasn't been touched. Once you start sliding down (or up or sideways) on to the quadrant (that wasn't divided) you see a total of 7 sections!

How do you draw 1 fifth of a circle?
a circle is 360 degrees. 1 5th = 360/5 = 72 degrees mark a starting point and draw a straight line and using a protractor find 72 degrees from that point and draw a line to that. now using a string or compass trace the arc between the 2 lines. You now have a wedge that is 1 5th of the circle.

What are Euclid's 5 postulates?
A straight line segment can be drawn by joining any two points.A straight line segment can be extended indefinitely in a straight line.Given a straight line segment, a circle can be drawn using the segment as radius and one endpoint as center.All right angles are congruent.If two lines are drawn which intersect a third in such a way that the sum of the inner angles on one side is less than two right angles, then the two lines inevitably must intersect each other on that side if extended far enough.

How do you divide a circle into five parts just using three lines?
a)Draw a line thru the center intersecting 2 points on either sides of the circle b)Using radius of the same circle, draw 2 arcs in both intersecting points. Along with the straight line, this will cut out 4 sectors, with the rest of the circle sum to get for the 5th portion.

How do you get a perpendicular line?
To make perpendicular lines, draw a horizontal line. Then using a compass or tracing around the edge of a curved object, draw one circle ( or just a semi-circle) so that it crosses the horizontal straight line in at least one point. Now rotate the compass or move the curved object to draw another circle (or semi-circle). This second circle (or semi-circle) must cross through the horizontal straight line as the first one did. It also must cross through the first circle (or semi-circle) at two points- above the horizontal straight line and below the horizontal straight line. Next, draw a straight line from where the two circles (or semi-circles) meet above the horizontal straight line through to where they meet below the horizontal straight line. You now have a line perpendicular to the first line.
