Question 14790: Can you please help me, I have tried everyway I could and I keep coming up with six parts.
Suppose this is the early 1900�s and you�re in New York City�s Little Italy getting a Pizza Margherita, named in honor of a pizza-loving Italian princess. Chan you divide the circular pie into eight equal slices in only three straight cuts? All the pieces must be identical: each with an upper surface covered with sauce, lower baked crust, and a crusty edge. (Don�t worry, it will get messy!)

You can only get 6 or 7 parts no matter how you tried was just wasting time.
Because, you only cut it in 2 dimensional. You suppose a pizza as a piece of
paper, while actually it is not.
The answer is pretty simple: to cut the pizza as to cut a water melon.
The first two vertical divisions(straight cuts) got 4 equal pieces.

Then the 3 third cut divides each of the one fourth into half horizonally.
That is the whole story.

Also delete rid those redundant words having nothing to do with math.
