Mathematics Question on Circle Graph or Pie Chart

A group of 360360 people were asked to vote for their favourite season from the three seasons rainy, winter and summer.

  1. Which season got the most votes?
  2. Find the central angle of each sector.
  3. Draw a pie chart to show this information.
SeasonNumber of votes
Summer90
Rainy120
Winter150
Answer

(i) Winter season got the most votes.


(ii) Central angle of summer season = 90°×360°360°\frac{90° × 360° }{360°} = 90°90°

Central angle of rainy season = 120°×360°360°\frac{120° × 360° }{ 360°} = 120°120°

Central angle of winter season = 150°×360°360°\frac{150° × 360° }{ 360°} = 150°150°
