Constructing a pie chart To draw a pie chart, each part of the data is represented as a proportion of 360, because there are 360 degrees in a circle. You need to know the total amount of data collected in this case 20 women were surveyed on how many years education they had. You then need to know how many are represented in each part of the data for example, three women might have one year of education. Divide the part of the data by the total amount in this example, 3/20. You then multiply this answer by 360 so here (3/20) x 360. This answer tells you how many degrees your segment of pie chart needs to be. Before you draw the pie chart, remember to check that the angles which you have calculated add up to 360 degrees.
