Cutting a section out of a circle (designing a robot)

The base plate is as follows:
I have circle of radius 15cm
I wish to cut 2 (2.5cm x 10cm sections out of the circle. These will be for the wheels
The inner edge of each cut is 12.5cm from the center, on opposite sides.

What command/menu item do I use?

1. Draw a circle and two rectangles.

2. Explode the rectangles into lines.

3. Turn on the intersection snap and use the Divide command to split the circle and lines where they cross.

4. Delete the unwanted parts of the circle and lines.

There is a good explanation of how to use the Divide command in conjunction with Snap Intersection here <a href="http://">http://wiki.librecad.org/index.php/LibreCAD_users_Manual in section 14.3.
