Completing a pie-chart table from one known row

Completing a pie-chart table from one known row.

  • A whole circle is 360°. Each sector represents the same fraction of the angle total and frequency total.
  • Angle = frequency ÷ total × 360. Frequency = angle ÷ 360 × total.
  • If one sector has both values, use it to recover the total. Check completed frequencies and angles add correctly.

Example 1

Complete the table, then draw the pie chart. Only one row contains both a frequency and an angle.

Use row A to find the total frequency.
B frequencyUse angle ÷ 360 × total. For C, reverse this to find its angle.
D frequencySubtract the known frequencies from the total. Check all angles sum to 360°.
Use a protractor from each new boundary. Check the final sector closes the circle.
