Does the diameter divide the circle into fourths?
A diameter is a line connecting any two points in a circle that passes through the centre of a circle. You can draw 1 diameter and divide the circle in half. You can draw 2 and divide it into 4 pieces or draw an infinite amount and divide it into infinite pieces.
How do you divide a circle into four equal pieces?
From the center of the circle, draw like a cross from there.
How do you divide a circle in 10 pieces?
By marking out 10 arcs of 36 degrees around its circumference and joining them to the centre of the circle.
Is 1 sixth greater or smaller than 1eigth?
Think about a circle. If you divide it into six equal parts, each part is 1/6 of the circle. Now think about a circle that is identical to the first. If you divide that one into eight equal parts, each part is 1/8 of the circle. If you compare the two divided circles, you will see that the 1/8 pieces must be smaller than the 1/6 pieces, because eight pieces are filling the same space as six pieces. Draw this out on paper to prove this to yourself if need be.
How do you divide an area into equal pieces?
If the shape has high symmetry like a circle then it's easy to do. If not, measure the area, divide it by N (the number of pieces you want) and chop off that quanitity (N-1) times and, with the bit left over you will have N equal pieces.
