Question

Q 2) In a locality, total area is 500 acres where 250 acres are under
sugarcane, 125 acres are under maize, 60 acres are under wheat and the
remaining 65 acres are under other crops. Make a Pie diagram to represent
the distribution of acreage under different crops.
​

Answer 1

Answer :-

Given :-

• Total area = 500 acres
• Area under Sugarcane = 250 acres
• Area under Maize = 125 acres
• Area under Wheat = 60 acres
• Area under other crops = 65 acres

To find :-

• Making a pie chart of the given data

Solution :-

For making the pie chart, we have find out the angles of the given data.

Formula:

Angle on pie chart = frequency of data/total frequency × 360 degrees

(i) Angle for area under Sugarcane

$\rightarrow \frac{\cancel{250}}{\cancel{500}}\times{\cancel{360}} \\ \rightarrow\:180°$

(ii) Angle for area under Maize

$\rightarrow \frac{\cancel{125}}{\cancel{500}}\times{\cancel{360}} \\ \rightarrow\:90°$

(iii) Angle for area under Wheat

$\rightarrow \frac{\cancel{60}}{\cancel{500}}\times{\cancel{360}} \\ \rightarrow\:43.2°$

(iv) Angle for area under Other Crops

$\rightarrow \frac{\cancel{65}}{\cancel{500}}\times{\cancel{360}} \\ \rightarrow\:46.8°$

Now, draw the angles on the pie chart and write the name of the region.
