Solution

The central angle of a circle is 360 degrees. To find the measure of the central angle for Shane's section, we need to calculate 10% of 360 degrees (since Shane collected 10% of the canned food).

Step 1: Convert the percentage to a decimal. 10% becomes 0.10. Step 2: Multiply the total degrees in a circle (360) by the decimal.

So, 0.10 * 360 = 36 degrees.

Therefore, the measure of the central angle in the "Shane" section is 36 degrees.
