    How do I divide a circle into 4 equal parts using a set square?

    First you have to find and mark the exact center of the circle. Then draw a straight line from one side of the circle through the center to the other side of the circle. That's a diameter. Finally, use the set square to draw another diameter perpendicular to the first diameter. You have now divided the circle into four equal quadrants.

    Draw a radius. Then, using a protractor, draw eight more radii, each 40° from the nearest radius.

    360° ÷ 7 = 51.43°. Use a protractor to draw eight radii, each approximately 51.43° from each other.

    If I wanted to cut a 6" diameter cake into 10 even slices using a protractor to mark the top edge (circumference) of the cake, how would I calculate the distance?
    Donagan
    Top Answerer
    Divide 360° by 10. That's 36°. Use the protractor to measure ten slices of 36° each.
