: How do I split a circle shape into diaphragm-like segments in Illustrator? How can I make a vector image like this using illustator? (I'm interested in the shape of the triangles) I'm moving

@Nimeshi706

I have read all valuable answers
my answer would be easier - I think


Draw the basic shapes and they are a circle and hexagone
Align them to the center





now break each anchor in the hexagon shape by selecting with the white arroe each anchor and click over cut path at selected anchor points select two by two because if select it all the cut path command will disappear as you select all the object not some anchors of it.





after that scale each line of the extracted hexagon separately in one way only.





give a stroke to those line and convert strokes into path. by selecting all lines and apply 10 point stroke then go the objects>path>outline stroke





when all lines converted to shape still selected go to pathfinder panel and select unite.

sill the shape selected use sift to select the circle and go to the pathfinder panel and choose Minus Front and ungroup the result and delete the generated hexagon generated by our last operation. That's it.

Look at what you have. Circle divided in 6 pieces. divide circle into 6 pieces for starter. It is symmetrical by rotation. Draw one piece and copy. the triangle is pointing one side horizontally. This is what you get:



Image 1: how i would do it


draw circle (mark center out with guides)
Draw line at 80 degrees
trim lines with shape builder
rotate back by 30 degrees
move point to verical with lower edge
rotate and repeat (ctrl+d)
color
make stroke wider white
outline


...

Ammendum:

If you want to be entirely accurate (my eyeball did this it very close but not perfect) note that the line has to satisfy following criteria:

PS: yes its the mirror image
