Answer:

Ukraine and Germany

Explanation:

Spiders may seem like a more specific Halloween ornament, but eight-legged creatures actually play an important role in other parties. We have discovered the tradition of "Christmas spiders."

It is based on a European folk tale that has been attributed to several countries, often Ukraine and Germany. In a version of the Christmas spider story, a widowed mother and her children were too poor to decorate their Christmas tree, and friendly spiders wove elaborate nets on a fir tree. When the family woke up on Christmas morning, they opened the curtains and sunlight illuminated the cobwebs, turning them into silver and gold (sometimes it is said to be the origin of the garlands). The family had good fortune thereafter. Other versions affirm that it was Santa Claus or Jesus himself who transformed the networks so that they did not bother the mother.

It is likely that the legend is related to the idea that spiders give good luck. Whatever the real reason, according to various sources, Ukrainians decorate their Christmas trees with spider-shaped ornaments (often made of precious stones) to this day

You have a circle with a diameter of 24 divided into 16 sections what is the size of each section
ziro4ka [17]
The circle with diameter of 24 means that 2\pir = 24. 

Solving for r, we get \pir=24. 

Dividing both sides by \pi, we get r=24/\pi.

The area of the full circle is \pi times 24 squared over \pi ^{2}. The \pi being multiplied cancels out, meaning that 24 squared over \pi is the area of the full circle. 24 squared is 576, and dividing by 16 we get \frac{36}{\pi} as the answer.
