Question

use the table above. find the measure of the central angle you would draw to represent apple juice in a circle graph (look at picture)
A. 90 degrees
B. 54 degrees
C. 144 degrees
D. 30 degrees

Answer 1

Refer to the data given above. We have to find the central angle which is used to represent the apple juice in a circle graph.

Since the apple juice is 40%.

Since, there are 360 degrees in a circle.

Therefore, central angle which represents apple juice in a circle graph

= 40% of 360 degrees

= $\frac{40}{100} \times 360^{\circ}$

= $144^{\circ}$

Hence, the measure of the central angle which represent apple juice in a circle graph is $144^{\circ}$.

So, Option C is the correct answer.
