Question 932385: A man has a circular field which is already fenced. He wants to divide the field into four equal parts by using three equal length pieces of fencing. (All three fences must be used, and no overlapping, or cutting of fences is allowed). How might this be done? How does the length of each fence relate to the radius of the circle?
