Calculating Sector Degrees
publish date: 2026/05/25 21:45:53.454440 UTC
When constructing a circle graph, a researcher needs to find out how large to make the central angle for a sector representing \(35\%\). How many degrees should this sector's angle span?
Answer = (1)
Correct Answer
(1) 126
Explanation
A complete circle contains \(360^\circ\). To find the degree measure for a sector representing \(35\%\), multiply \(360^\circ\) by \(0.35\):
\[ \text{Degrees} = 0.35 \times 360^\circ = 126^\circ \]
