Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

we know that

The total number of successful United States space launches that happened in the years 1957-1995 is equal to

step 2

The numbers of successful United States space launches that happened in the years 1980-1989 is equal to

step 3

The percentage of successful United States space launches that happened in the years 1980-1989 is equal to

step 4

Find out the measure of the central angle you would draw in a circle graph to represent the number of successful United States space launches  that happened in the years 1980-1989

we know that

In a circle, 360 degrees represent the 100%

so

using proportion

Find out the measure of the central angle by a percentage of 14.68%
