Answer 10

using your calculations above organize the information in a circle graph. use appropriate labels. indicate the number of degrees in the central angles for each section of the graph.

Answer 11

you can use excel or find a chart service on google :)

Answer 12

for facebook, the percentage is 16.667%, which is 0.16667 back in decimal form

you multiply 0.16667 by 360 to get 0.16667*360 = 60.0012 so it's basically 60 degrees

so the "facebook" pie wedge piece is a pie wedge with a central angle of 60 degrees

Answer 13

column1 colum2
Facebook-4
