State true or false.The following data represents the approximate percentage of water in various oceans.                   Pacific                         40 %                  Atlantic                         30 %                   Indian                         20 %                   Others                         10 %The pie chart for the given data is

Accepted Answer

It is given that,Approximate percentage of water in various oceans:                      Pacific                         40 %                     Atlantic                         30 %                     Indian                         20 %                     Others                         10 %Total amount

=40+30+20+10

=100

Find the approximate percentage of water in each ocean's centre angle.We know that,

Central ​Angle = 
    
     size of the entry
    
     sum of sizes of all the entries

× 360

°

Then,

Pacifiic=
      
       40
      
       100
     
     ×
      360
      °

=
      144
      °

Atlantic=
      
       30
      
       100
     
     ×
      360
      °

=
      108
      °

Indian=
      
       20
      
       100
     
     ×
      360
      °

=
      72
      °

Others=
      
       10
      
       100
     
     ×
      360
      °

=
      36
      °

Then,Create a pie chart, segment it into equal-sized sectors, and align the central angles:Therefore, given statement is true.Hence, option (1) is correct.
