if your doing a circle graph in math and you have percents that are 18 16 or something that doesnt end with a 5 or 1 what degrees would it be??
18% of 360 is 64.8 degrees. 16% is 57.6 degrees. Do other percentages the same way.
what if it was 17 then??
BobPursley and I have shown you what formula to use. You will have to do the multiplication yourself.
To determine the number of degrees for a given percentage in a circle graph, you need to use a proportional relationship.
Since a circle has 360 degrees, you can set up a proportion using percentages and degrees:
Percentage / 100 = Degrees / 360
Now let's solve this proportion for the given percentages:
For example, if you have a percentage of 18%, you can set up the proportion as follows:
18 / 100 = Degrees / 360
To find the value of "Degrees" in this equation, cross multiply and solve for it:
18 * 360 = Degrees * 100
Degrees = (18 * 360) / 100 = 64.8 degrees (rounded to the nearest whole number)
Therefore, if you have a 18% in a circle graph, it would be represented by approximately 65 degrees.
Similarly, you can follow the same process for any other percentages that do not end with 5 or 1.
