No.

Carl Gauss, the German mathematician, proved that a circle could be divided into n equal parts if n could be expressed as a power of 2, multiplied by Fermat primes.

Refinements:

  • It must be a non-negative integer power of 2.
  • There could be 0 Fermat primes in the product. In fact, there are only 5 known Fermat primes: 3, 5, 17, 257 and 65537.

More recently Pierre Wantzel, the French mathematician, proved that if the number could not be expressed in this fashion, then it was not possible to construct the polygon using a compass and straight edge.

How do you devide a circle into 7 equal parts?

A circular sector is formed by two radii and an arc. And the angle formed due to the two radii is central angle(Θ). Area of a sector = (Θ/360) πr2.If we divide a circle into seven sectors having equal central angles then the circle is divided into seven equal parts.Angle of the whole circle is 360o. So we should divide the whole angle into 7 equal parts each measuring 360o/7 and then forming the corresponding sectors.


How do you cut a pie evenly into seven pieces?

It is not possible to cut a pie into seven pieces of equal area. Eight pieces and six pieces can both readily be done.


How do you cut a parallelogram in to 8 pieces?

Select any side. Divide its length into 8 equal sections using 7 points. From each division point, draw a line parallel to to the adjacent side across the parallelogram. The seven lines will divide the parallelogram into 8 pieces.


What is more one seventh or one eighth?

one seventh cause there is less to split the circle with ---- One-seventh is greater. If you divide something into seven pieces, each piece is bigger than if you divide it into eight pieces. The more pieces, the smaller each piece has to be. Half an hour (1/2) is bigger than a quarter of an hour (1/4).


A pie can be cut into more than seven pieces by cutting?

If a circle fraction can, a pie can yes


Is 8 divide by 4 plus 5 equal to seven?

Yes.


Divide a circle into eight parts using three straigh lines?

You can't. However, you can divide it into seven, like so: Make the lines make a triangle in the middle of the circle, rather than making them meet at the centre.


How do you divide a semicircle into 7 equal parts?

Calculate perimeteter of the semicircle then divide mathematically by seven using a calculator and then using that value and a divider or compass divide the semicircle.......


If i have seven and one quarter yards of rope and i cut 3 inches off each end of the rope. then WITH THE REMAINING rope into equal pieces for a project. what will be the length of each piece of rope?

7.25 yards = 261 inches - 6 inches = 255 inches Divide 255 by however many pieces there are.


If there is half a circle a quarter circle and an eighth of a circle how much more of the circle is needed to make it whole?

Half circle plus quarter circle is equal to three-fourths of a circle. Three-fourths of a circle plus one eighth of a circle is seven-eighths. You still need one more eighth to complete the circle.
