Hi forum,
Here is a little challenge that I came up with that some of you may find interesting:-
Using only a compass, ruler and pencil, can you draw a circle, of any diameter you wish, and divide its circumference exactly into 360 equal sections?
It seems to me that one should be able to accomplish this using only high school (Euclidean) geometry, but I haven't achieved it yet myself.
Bear in mind that I'm not a mathematician. I'm sure that many of you could do this quite easily.ad
