| I can't remember the formula for the life of me.
| If a dish is almost 3 ft across and I want to segment it like an
| orange into 10 segments how do I calculate how wide each will be at
| the rim?
| So I end up with a dish that has 10 sides.

| I'm math clueless.

Burt...

Each of the sides will be 36" * sin(360 degrees / 10) or approximately
21.16"
