What is a Pie Chart?

A pie chart is a circular statistical graphic divided into slices to illustrate numerical proportions, where the arc length of each slice is proportional to the quantity it represents.

Formula & Step-by-Step Calculation

Slice Angle θ = (Value_i / Total Value) × 360°, Percentage % = (Value_i / Total) × 100%

Circular proportionality.

Worked Step-by-Step Examples

Example 1

Categories: Math (35), Physics (25), Chemistry (20), CS (30)

Solution: Total = 110; Math = 31.8%, Physics = 22.7%, Chemistry = 18.2%, CS = 27.3%
• Total = 110; Math fraction = 35/110 = 31.8%
