Circle graphs are used to display the relationship between variables using a complete circle

The angle measures of the sections are 180 degrees, 72 degrees, 72 degrees and 36 degrees, respectively.

The count of the animals are given as:

The total count of animals is:

$\mathbf{Total = 25 + 10 +10 + 5}$

$\mathbf{Total = 50}$

The angle measure of each section is then calculated using:

$\mathbf{Angle = \frac{Animal \times 360}{Total}}$

So, we have:

$\mathbf{Squirrel = \frac{25 \times 360}{50} }$

Simplify the numerator

$\mathbf{Squirrel = \frac{9000}{50} }$

Divide

$\mathbf{Squirrel = 180}$

$\mathbf{Rabbit= \frac{10\times 360}{50} }$

Simplify the numerator

$\mathbf{Rabbit= \frac{3600}{50} }$

Divide

$\mathbf{Rabbit= 72}$

$\mathbf{Deer= \frac{10\times 360}{50} }$

Simplify the numerator

$\mathbf{Deer= \frac{3600}{50} }$

Divide

$\mathbf{Deer= 72}$

Lastly, we have:

$\mathbf{Raccoon= \frac{5\times 360}{50} }$

Simplify the numerator

$\mathbf{Raccoon= \frac{1800}{50} }$

Divide

$\mathbf{Raccoon= 36}$

Hence, the angle measures of the sections are 180 degrees, 72 degrees, 72 degrees and 36 degrees, respectively.
