Divide Circle into equal Segments of 1.20 Meters

hey have a small problem that needs a solution. I have two circles with a radius of 10 and 20 meters (both have the same center point). Now I want to divide both circles into segments that are ALL 1.2 meters in size. Currently the last element always has a strange size or dances out of line. How can I make my circle have segments that are all 1.2 meters in size? The circles can also be minimally smaller or larger as long as I have a number of segments that are all 1.2 meters in size.

Circle

Multiply the amount of segments minus the remainder by 1.2, that will be the circumference of your circle. Divide that by pi and you get your desired diameter.

thanks for your answer, unfortunately I still can’t get my problem solved, sorry. Can you look at it again please?

Hello
I think you forgot your lesson from middle school, it is a basic trigonometry problem.


See this link (csc(x) mean 1/sin(x)), I multiply by 0.5 to have the radius.

You could also use that

Good Morning Laurent, Thank you sooo much!

@laurent_delrieu your solution if see it right, gives 1.2 length of the distances between points, the one I was proposing, gives 1.2 length of the arc segments:

The 2 solutions are valid as the initial question was not very clear (what was the segment ? what was the meaning of size ?) and also the fact that @Yannic1 thinks

puzzle me as it is known that as the circle as a rational radius, divided segments could not have a rational length so I thought I missed something else.
