Question

To the nearest degree, what is the measure of the central angle for bathing ?

A.) 30°
B.) 98°
C.)108°
D.) 68°

Answer 1

I'm afraid this question needs work. What do you mean by "bathing," and how could "bathing" have a "central angle?"

Answer 2

theres the circle

Answer 3

@mathmale ?

Answer 4

I think the answer is B

Answer 5

Oh...you're talking about a "pie chart" and notice that bathing takes up 30% of a family's water usage in a year. and you want to do ... what ???

Answer 6

Not find the central angle for bathing, but rather to find the central angle represented by 30% of the full "pie."

Answer 7

Any idea of what to do next?

Answer 8

so the answer is b

Answer 9

Sorry, but I don't deal in "answers." I know others do that all the time here, but I'd much prefer you explain your reasoning in choosing "B."

Answer 10

the central angle must be in radians, not in degrees. Perhaps you already know that 2Pi radians equals 360 degrees (one full circle).

What is 30% of 2Pi radians? convert 30% to a decimal fraction before you multiply.
