Circle Graphs and Central Angles
Standard: 7.S.2
 When reading this circle graph we look for the following pieces
of information:
Graph Title--A graph title gives an overview of the information
displayed in the graph. The title is given at the top of the graph.
Sectors--Each sector represents one part of the whole. The
size of each sector represents its fraction of the whole.
Sector Labels--The label of each sector indicates the category
of information it refers to, and may also give numeric data
(often a percentage) so we know the size of each sector.

Drawing a circle graph
A central angle is an angle formed by any two radii of a circle -
these are what we use to form the circle graph.

How do we measure the central angles of a circle graph,

when only given the fraction?

For example, if we have a fraction of 3 , how do we find the angle?

4
You can use proportions...

Or you can use decimals and multiply...
