In a Pie chart, the angle for each sector is calculated by using the formula:
- $\frac{Component Part}{Total}\times 100$
- $\frac{Component Part}{Total}\times 360$
- $\frac{Component Part}{Total}\times \pi$
- $\frac{Total}{Component Part}\times \pi$

B
Correct answer
Explanation
The angle of a sector in a pie chart is proportional to the component part relative to the total, multiplied by the total degrees in a circle (360).
AI explanation
A pie chart represents a total circle of 360 degrees. To find the central angle for a specific component, you calculate the proportion of that part to the total and multiply it by the total degrees in the circle. This yields the formula (Component Part / Total) multiplied by 360. The result is the formula (Component Part / Total) multiplied by 360.
