    Assuming that bob will use a circle with radius 1 unit,

    then the area of the whole circle is A = pi R^2

    A = 3.1416 (1^2)

    A = 3.1416

    fraction of auto supplies = 120 / 3000 = 0.04

    Area auto supplies = 3.1415 (0.04) = 0.1257

    formula for of a circular segment

    A = 0.5r^2x

    where x is the angle in radian

    0.1257 = 0.5 (1^2) x

    x = 0.2513 rad

    convert to degrees

    x = 0.2513 rad (180 / pi)

    x = 14.40 degrees
