The budget spent on each sector is proportional to the angle it occupies in the pie chart.

Explanation:

The total angle in a pie chart is

360^\circ

From the pie chart, health occupies

60^\circ

and agriculture occupies

80^\circ

The yearly budget is

7200

Expenditure on health is:

\frac{60}{360} \times 7200 = 1200

Expenditure on agriculture is:

\frac{80}{360} \times 7200 = 1600
