AnswerThere are 2pi radians in a full circle. If we cut a circle into 5 equal parts, each central angle will have 2pi/5 (or 72 degrees), and each arc intercepted form those central angles will be (2/5)(pi)(r). AnswerYes, you can, using just a compass and straight edge. For any given circle you construct, construct a pentagon inside it using that compass and straight edge, then use the vertices of the pentagon to divide the circle into 5 equal sectors. Use the link below to see how the construction proceeds.

Dividig circle into 18 equal parts how many degrees for 5 of the parts?

5 out of 18 parts is 5/18. Multiply that by 360, since that's the number of degrees in a full circle.


How do you divide a circle in to 5 equal parts?

The number of degrees in one complete revolution of a radius is 360°. Therefore the number of degrees covered in 1/5 of a revolution is 72° . To divide a circle into 5 equal parts create 5 sectors each measuring 72° at the centre of the circle.

A circle is divided into 18 equal parts how many degrees is the angle for 5 parts?

A circle has a total of 360 degrees. If it is divided into 18 equal parts, each part measures ( \frac{360}{18} = 20 ) degrees. Therefore, the angle for 5 parts is ( 5 \times 20 = 100 ) degrees.

What is the measure of the angle by the straight sides of the circle divided into 5 equal parts?

A circle has no straight sides but if you mean a circle that has been divided into 5 equal sectors then the angle of each sector is 72 degrees subtended by each arc of the circle.

What is one fifth of a circle?

One fifth of a circle is equal to 360 degrees divided by 5, which is 72 degrees. This means that if you were to divide a circle into five equal parts, each part would measure 72 degrees. This calculation is based on the fact that a full circle is 360 degrees.
