To make a circle graph of the following information, what should the measure of each central angle be?

 

Givens:

A circle is = 360 degrees

 

The total # of Students = 40

 

Sports      = 14

Fighting    = 8
Maze        = 11
don’t play = 7          

40 (just checking)

 

Central Angles = 

Sports = (14/40)*(360 degrees)    = (0.350)(360)= 126 degrees

 

Fighting = (8/40)*(360 degrees)    = (0.200)(360)= 72 degrees

 

Maze = (11/40)*(360 degrees)      = (0.275)(360) = 99 degrees

 

don’t play = (7/40)*(360 degrees) = (0.175)(360) = 63 degrees    

360 degrees (just checking)
