Default square in circle?

Hi all,
Was working on marking a disk into three equal pie sections, and was offered
a suggestion that I could put a square (4 sided figure, not a carpenter's
square) on the circle (maybe an inscribed square) and that, by rotating that
square, it would make finding the thirds of the disk easier or more
foolproof. This suggestion was made by a boatbuilder/woodworker, and I have
to admit that I couldn't see how this would help me. Is there a method of
using a square on a circle that does make dividing the circle easier?
Thanks,
Kerry
