(in)
Draw a pie-chart to represent the above information.​

Answer 1

Answer:

We know:

Central angle of a component =

sumofcomponentvalues

componentvalue

×360

∘

Here, total sales= Rs480

Thus, central angle for each component can be calculated as follows:

Activity Number of workers Sector angles

Ordinary bread 260

Now, the pie chart representing the given data can be constructed by following the steps below:

Step 1: Draw circle of an appropriate radius.

Step 2: Draw a vertical radius of the circle drawn in step 1.

Step 3: Choose the largest central angle. Here, the largest central angle is 195

∘

. Draw a sector with the central angle 195

∘

in such a way that one of its radii coincides with the radius drawn in step 2 and another radius is in its counter clockwise direction.

Step 4: Construct other sectors representing other items in the clockwise direction in the descending order of magnitudes of their central angles.

Step 5: Shade the sectors with different colours and label them, as shown as in the figure below
