Question:
The following table gives the number of different fruits kept in a hamper.
Represent the above data by a pie chart.
Solution:
Total number of fruits $=(26+30+21+5+8)=90$
Central angle of each fruit $=\left(\frac{\text { number of each type of fruit }}{\text { total number of fruits }} \times 360\right) \circ$
Calculation of central angles
Construction of pie chart
Steps of construction:
1. Draw a circle of any convenient radius.
2. Draw a horizontal radius of the circle.
3. Draw sectors whose central angles are $104^{\circ}, 120^{\circ}, 84^{\circ}, 20^{\circ}$ and $32^{\circ} .$
4. Shade the sectors so obtained differently and label each one of them.
Thus, we obtain the required pie chart as shown in the figure below.
