Solution

The central angle of a pie chart is calculated based on the percentage that each section represents out of the total 100%. In a pie chart, the total degrees are 360°.

To find the measure of the central angle for the "Oranges" section, you would multiply the percentage of oranges by 360°.

So, the calculation would be:

30% of 360° = 0.30 * 360° = 108°

So, the measure of the central angle in the "Oranges" section is 108°.
