Draw the Line

by
Erik Oosterwal



Below you see a circle.  It's easy to see how you can dissect or divide the circle into 4 equal sized parts with two lines by drawing straight, perpendicular lines that pass through the center point.




Can you divide the circle into 4 equal sized parts using three lines without tracing over one of the previously drawn lines?

I give up, show me the Answer
