The rule and the steps

The rule and the steps

  • Sector angle = (value of the part ÷ total) × 360°
  • If the percentage is given, the sector angle = percentage × 3.6°, because 360 ÷ 100 = 3.6.
  1. Add all the values to get the total.
  2. Calculate the angle of each sector using the rule above.
  3. Check that the angles add up to 360°.
  4. Draw the sectors with a protractor and label each sector.
