Answer:

No! 20% does not correspond to a central angle 20°.

Explanation:

The central angle for pie chart is 360°.

So, a category represents 20% is 20%(360) for central angle.

Let's simplify it to get the angle,


(20)/(100) * 360

Simplify it,

72°

So, 20% does not correspond to a central angle 20°.
