Correct Answer Explanation

A circle in a pie chart has a total angle of 360°.

Key Points:
  • The 360° represents 100% of the data.
  • Each 1% = 3.6°.
  • All angular components of the pie must sum to 360°.
  • The circle is divided by drawing straight lines from centre to circumference.
Why Other Options Are Wrong
  • A. 180°: This is a semicircle, not a full circle.
  • B. 270°: This is three-quarters of a circle.
  • D. 90°: This is a quarter circle or right angle.
