the table below shows the percents of the distribution of large dams by state. fill in the table. round to the nearest degree. then draw a circle graph to represent the information given in the table.
complete the table given below.
distribution of large dams by state

state	percent	degrees in sector
state b	32%
state c	4%
state d	39%
state e	4%
state f	3%

(round to the nearest degree as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for converting percentage to degrees

The total degrees in a circle is 360°. To find the number of degrees for a given percentage, use the formula: Degrees = Percentage×360.

Step2: Calculate degrees for State A

For State A with 18%: Degrees = 0.18×360 = 64.8≈65°.

Step3: Calculate degrees for State B

For State B with 32%: Degrees = 0.32×360 = 115.2≈115°.

Step4: Calculate degrees for State C

For State C with 4%: Degrees = 0.04×360 = 14.4≈14°.

Step5: Calculate degrees for State D

For State D with 39%: Degrees = 0.39×360 = 140.4≈140°.

Step6: Calculate degrees for State E

For State E with 4%: Degrees = 0.04×360 = 14.4≈14°.

Step7: Calculate degrees for State F

For State F with 3%: Degrees = 0.03×360 = 10.8≈11°.

Answer:

State	Percent	Degrees in sector
State B	32%	115°
State C	4%	14°
State D	39%	140°
State E	4%	14°
State F	3%	11°
