Algebra.Com's Answer #362671 by neatmath(302)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Without actually drawing the graph, we can find this answer. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Add up the total amount of sandwiches sold: \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Conveniently, the store sold 500 sandwiches. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now we just need to compare the number of ham and cheese sandwiches sold (75), \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "to the total number of sandwiches sold (500) to get a ratio: \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now, since a circle has a total of 360 degrees in it, if we multiply our ratio R by 360, \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "we will know the measure of the central angle that the ham and cheese sandwiches should have on the graph. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the ham and cheese central angle on the graph should be 54 degrees. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If we were using radians, of course we would have a different answer, but the process would be exactly the same. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We would just need to multiply our ratio R by \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I hope this helps! :) \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "******************************************************* \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Email Scott King: neatmath@yahoo.com for help with specific problems, \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "or to inquire about low-cost mathematics tutoring via email or other methods. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Paypal is always accepted for detailed assistance with single problems. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Single problems would range from 50 cents to 5 dollars each, depending on their complexity. \n" ); document.write( " |
