Answer 1

What is the minimum cuts  needed to cut a circle into 8  equal parts ?

A : 4 cuts

Answer 2

Answer:

4 cuts.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we have a circle, each cut (supposing the curst are in the exact middle) which give use two haves. So, if we cut one time, we'll have two equal parts, if we cut a second time, we'll have 4 equal parts, a third time, we'll get us 6 equal parts, and if we cut a fourth time, we'll have 8 equal parts.

So, whenever we have this kind of problem dividing circles, we just say that each cut in the exact middle equals two equal haves, so if we have 4 cuts, we just multiply them by 2, 4(2)=8. Therefore, we have 8 equal parts.
