homework help: How the hell do you make a piechart? - Help.com

How the hell do you make a piechart?

Geography homework sucks.
How the hell did geography become math? >.> Anways. I need to make a piechart from percentages.
It’s stupid of me to ask but…how?
I’ll throw down a few of the numbers ; 9%, 2.4%, 87.4% and 1.2%. Could someone just give me a forumla or something?

p.s) My geog teacher told me to: 9/100*360. And I got 32.4 for that. But when I tried it with 87.4/100*360, I got 314.64.
Does that even make sense?!

First you get a pie.
Then you through it at a chart.
Simple.

Sorry, I couldn’t resist. Here this’ll probably help.

Then if you need it on paper just trace it through.

pie charts are a circle, then cut in parts based on percentages….I think…I could be totally wrong. I’m not the greatest at math, but I think thats what it is.

Boo.
Lol thank you for all the replies. I rolled my eyes (Okay, I laughed too) at your post, Laina1321.
I didn’t think about the excel thing. I am stupid. I probably will do that and trace it through.
=D

ok - simple terms :)

there is 100 in 100%
there is 360 degrees in a full circle

so… for each percent, there is 3.6 degrees (360/100)

so, the rest is simple

9% x 3.6 = 32.40 degrees
2.4% x 3.6 = 8.64 degrees
87.4% x 3.6 = 314.64 degrees
1.2% x 3.6 = 4.32 degrees

100.00 Totals 360.00 degrees

does this make sense?
