Question

Choose the correct statement(s) for a pie chart.

• A. The shape of a pie chart is circular.
• B. The total angle of a pie chart is ${\left(\frac{22}{7}\right)}^{\circ }$
• C. The shape of a pie chart is triangular.
• D. The total angle of a pie chart is ${360}^{\circ }$

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (D)

The total angle of a pie chart is ${360}^{\circ }$

A pie chart is a circular graph so the total angle at the center of the circle is ${360}^{\circ }.$

A pie chart contains different sectors and segments. Each sector forms a certain portion of the total angle $\left({360}^{\circ }\right)$.

Example: The below pie chart represents the result of an exam, showing the number of students in each category.



Total angle of the above pie chart
$={60}^{\circ }\text{(First division)}+{180}^{\circ }\text{(Second division)}+{120}^{\circ }\text{(Third division)}$
$={360}^{\circ }$

Options (a.) and (d.) are correct choices.
