If you need the straight line distance between the points here is how I
would solve it.

1. Find the Radius, 36" /2 = 18"
2. Find the angle of the wedge, 360 degrees / 10 segments = 36 degrees
3. Divide that wedge in half, using the resulting triangle you can find
1/2 the point to point distance.

4. The triangle has a angle of 18 degrees and adjacent side of 18"
5. Tan (18) * 18 = 5.85" which is the opposite side of the triangle and
1/2 the point to point distance.
6. 5.85 * 2 = 11.70"

bah to all that, I'm wrong.
