Question 1 Report

In a certain school, the lesson periods for each week are as itemised below: English 10, Mathematics 7, Biology 3, Statistics 4, Ibo 3, others 9. Draw a pie chart to illustrate this information.

Answer Details

Total number of lesson periods:

\[10+7+3+4+3+9=36\]

Hence, the angle for each lesson period is:

\[\frac{360^\circ}{36}=10^\circ\]

SubjectNumber of periodsAngle of sector
English10\(10\times10^\circ=100^\circ\)
Mathematics7\(7\times10^\circ=70^\circ\)
Biology3\(3\times10^\circ=30^\circ\)
Statistics4\(4\times10^\circ=40^\circ\)
Ibo3\(3\times10^\circ=30^\circ\)
Others9\(9\times10^\circ=90^\circ\)
Total36\(360^\circ\)

The required pie chart is:
