Oh, what a happy little challenge! To divide a rectangle into 8 parts using only 3 lines, you can start by drawing two lines that intersect inside the rectangle to create four sections. Then, draw a third line that intersects the other two lines outside the rectangle, creating a total of eight parts. Just like that, you've created a beautiful composition with just a few simple strokes.

How do you divide a rectangle into 7 equal parts with 3 lines only?
To divide a rectangle into 7 parts using 3 lines: Use 2 lines to draw two diagonals. Use the third line to draw a parallel line to any of the sides but not passing through the centre
Can you divide a square in 2 equal parts in 9 different ways?
Yes you can, but you have to use zig zag lines. Using straight lines there are only four ways to divide a square into two equal parts (along the lines of symmetry).
Divide a circle into eight parts using three straigh lines?
You can't. However, you can divide it into seven, like so: Make the lines make a triangle in the middle of the circle, rather than making them meet at the centre.
How many times can you divide a circle in equal parts not using compass?
Infinite amount of times. Its just a matter of how accurate you can draw the dividing lines.
Can you divide a pentagon into 3 equal parts?
Sure, honey. Technically speaking, you can't divide a pentagon into 3 equal parts with straight lines. A pentagon has 5 sides, so you can divide it into 1, 2, or 5 equal parts, but not 3. Math can be a real buzzkill sometimes, can't it?
