Question

To the nearest degree, what is the measure of the central angle for gardening?

25°

8°

5°

18°

Answer 1

the best degrees would be 8°

Answer 2

Answer: The correct option is (D) 18°.

Step-by-step explanation: The given circle in the figure shows a family's water usage for a year.

We are given to find the central angle for gardening.

From the figure, we note that gardening covers 5% of the whole circle.

The complete central angle for a circle is 360°.

So, the central angle for gardening will be 5% of 360°.

Therefore, the central angle for gardening is given by

`C_g=5\%* 360^\circ=(5)/(100)* 360^\circ=18^\circ.`

Thus, the correct option is (D) 18°.
