Question

Marlin is making a circle graph to show the type of hits he got during the baseball season. He had 13 singles, 5 doubles, 2 triples, and 4 home runs. When drawing the angle to show the number of triples, what angle measure should marlin use?

(a-2 degrees
(b-30 degrees
(c-60 degrees
(d-90 degrees

Answer 1

Your answer in (b-30 degrees.

Answer 2

b. 30 degrees

Explanation:

The angle measure that marlin should use for every type of hit during the baseball season is determined by the following equation:

`Angle = (Number Of Specific Hits)/(Total Hits) * 360`

Then, The total Hits are the sum of singles, doubles, triples and home runs that marlin got. That is 24 hits and it is calculated as:

13 singles + 5 doubles + 2 triples +4 home runs = 24 hits

So, to calculate the measure of the angle for triples, we need to replace the number of specific hits by 2 and total hits by 24 and it gets:

`Angle = (2)/(24) * 360`

Angle = 30 degrees
