Maharashtra State Board: Class 10

Formula: Central Angle

\[\text{Central angle}=\frac{\text{Value of component}}{\text{Total value}}\times360^\circ\]

Maharashtra State Board: Class 10

Key Points: Pie Diagram

  • A pie diagram represents data using a circle.

  • The whole circle = total data = 360°.

  • Each part of the data is shown by a sector.

  • The central angle of a sector is proportional to the data value.

  • Larger value → larger sector, smaller value → smaller sector.

Example

On a particular day, the sales (in rupees) of different items of a baker’s shop are given below.
ordinary bread 320
fruit bread 80
cakes and pastries 160
biscuits 120
others 40
Total
720
Draw a pie chart for this data.
We find the central angle of each sector. Here the total sale = Rs. 720. We thus have this table.
Item Sales (In Rs.) In Fraction Central Angle
Ordinary Bread 320 `320/720 = 4/9` `4/9xx360° = 160°`
Fruit Bread 80 `80/720 = 1/9` `1/9xx360° = 40°`
Cakes and pastries 160 `160/720 = 2/9` `2/9xx360° = 80°`
Biscuits 120 `120/720 = 1/6` `1/6xx360° = 60°`
Others 40 `40/720 = 1/18` `1/18xx360° = 20°`
Now, we make the pie chart:
