The maximum number of two-dimensional divisions by three lines is 7 parts : the first two lines do not intersect at the center of the square, but are offset, allowing the third line to create a triangular area (which may or may not include the center). The seven areas will not be equal in size, consisting of 6 rhombi and the central triangle.
You can cut a round cake into eight parts with three cuts, but you can't cut a circle into eight parts with three straight lines.

Draw two diameter lines, then draw a circle inside the circle.
To divide a clock into three equal parts using two lines, the lines must intersect at the center of the clock face. You can draw two lines from any point on the clock face that intersect at the center of the clock, effectively dividing it into three equal parts.

Draw 2 parallel lines which will result in 3 equal rectangles within the same square.
Divide each side into three equal parts. Then join the division marks on opposite sides with straight lines parallel to the other side(s).
You can cut a round cake into eight parts with three cuts, but you can't cut a circle into eight parts with three straight lines.
Oh, dude, dividing a square into 20 equal parts is like trying to fit into skinny jeans after Thanksgiving dinner - a bit of a stretch. But hey, you could totally divide it into 20 smaller squares by drawing evenly spaced lines horizontally and vertically across the square. Just make sure to bring your ruler and your patience for this geometry puzzle!

if it has to be straight i say the most if 6
Draw two diameter lines, then draw a circle inside the circle.
its actually really possible, you can do it two ways: _________ * * * * * * * * * * _________ i am not able show this on the computer but start from the two bottom edges and go up to a point like a triange in the middle. that will make three triangles inside the square. another way: ___________ ___________ ___________ this is a simpler way and the most equal. make three lines across the square equally.
trisect the bottom side, and draw two lines from the top vertex to the bottom.
To divide a clock into three equal parts using two lines, the lines must intersect at the center of the clock face. You can draw two lines from any point on the clock face that intersect at the center of the clock, effectively dividing it into three equal parts.
