🔍 Step-by-Step Breakdown:
- The Circle is Divided into 8 Sectors
From the center of the circle, 8 lines radiate outward, forming 8 pizza-like slices.
➤ Each of these is a triangle (since each slice has 3 sides: 2 radii and 1 arc side which we can consider as a base).
✅ So far: 8 triangles
- Check for Hidden or Composite Triangles
Now consider whether larger triangles are formed by combining smaller sectors:- If you combine 2 adjacent slices, they make a quadrilateral, not a triangle.
- Combining non-adjacent slices also won’t form a triangle unless you define a new straight-line base, which isn’t in the image.
- Any overlapping or intersecting shapes?
No extra lines intersect the sectors except for those dividing the 8 equal parts. All segments come from the center to the perimeter only.
✅ Final Answer:
8 triangles
These are the 8 triangular slices formed by dividing the circle into 8 parts.
