Given a circle divide it into 8 areas by drawing 3 lines?
If you define line as a straight curve then you cannot. I have seen two other variations though: you can cut a cake or any cylinder into eight pieces with three cuts or you can fold a circle into eight sections.
How do you draw eight triangles with 6 lines?
6 straight lines drawn inside of an octagon will divide the octagon into 8 triangles
