Question

In the circle graph what is the measure of the center so angle for carrots and potatoes combined?

Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

68°

Explanation:

To find the angles represented by the percentages , you should have in mind that the total sum of all angles in the pie-chart equals 360°

The percentages given are;

• Other=34%
• Potatoes=8%
• Carrot=11%
• Green Beans=12%
• Corn=15%
• Broccoli=20%

The total percentages for the items

`=34+8+11+12+15+20=100`

To get the angles represented by each percentage

Angle x=item/100 ×360°

Where x is the angle of an item in the circle graph

Calculating angles for carrot and potatoes

`C=(11)/(100) *360=39.6\\\\\\P=(8)/(100) *360=28.8\\\\\\P+C=39.6+28.8=68.4`

The combined angle will be 68.4°
