ok for the sake of this problem lets say that there are lines on the top and the bottom and through the middle of the two segments. Each of those line represent a wall with a door in it. You must walk through each door only one. You can start and end any where you want.
Anyway about your problem it looks impossible sorry.
Go here to see mathmatical proof if it being imposbile on a 2D plane.

It's the only solution to the puzzle.
It's not unlike the old classic; 'Make 4 triangles using 6 matchsticks'
Quite possible, just need to 'think outside the square. (And no, you cant break the matchsticks)
