Question

Most of the seniors at Roosevelt High School took a math class this year. The graph shows the breakdown: Find the number of degrees for each math class. State the class and the degrees. Show your work.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, sum of central angles of a circle = 360°

Therefore, sum of all central angles formed by each math class = 360°

And measure of angles formed by each class will be in the same proportion as the percentage of seniors in each class.

Geometry → 27% of 360° = 97.2°

Precalculus → 4% of 360° = 14.4°

Advanced algebra → 33% of 360° = 118.8°

Consumer math → 36% of 360° = 129.6°

Answer 2

Answer:

There are 360 degrees in a circle so I need to do the percentage of 360

Geometry: 27% of 360 = 97.2 °

Consumer Math: 36% of 360 = 129.6 °

Advanced Algebra: 33% of 360 = 118.8 °

Precalculus: 4% of 360 = 14.4 °
