Instructions

1.Toolbar ImageCreate a horizontal slider Denominator for number with Interval 1 to 30 and Increment 1.
2.Toolbar ImageCreate a horizontal slider Numerator for number with Interval 1 to Denominator and Increment 1.
3.Toolbar ImageCreate Point A = (0, 0).
4.Toolbar ImageEnter Radius r = 4 into the Input Bar.
5.Toolbar ImageCreate circle c with center A and given radius r.
6.Toolbar ImageCreate angle = 360° / Denominator.
7.Toolbar ImageHide point A using the Show / Hide Object tool.
8.Toolbar ImageHide the label of circle c ( Style Bar).
9. Toolbar Image Create a list of circular sectors. Sequence(CircularSector(A, (r cos(α (i - 1)), r sin(α (i - 1))), (r cos(α i), r sin(α i))), i, 1, Denominator)
10. Toolbar Image Create a list of circular sectors from 1 to Numerator. Sequence(CircularSector(A, (r cos(α (i - 1)), r sin(α (i - 1))), (r cos(α i), r sin(α i))), i, 1, Numerator)
11.Enhance your construction by using the Style Bar and match colors of corresponding objects.
