    The formula for area of a sector with θ in 𝐑𝐀𝐃𝐈𝐀𝐍𝐒

    a = (θ/2)r²

    Solve for θ:

    Divide both sides by r²

    a/r² = θ/2

    Multiply both sides by 2

    2a/r² = θ

    θ = 2a/r² <––––––

    The formula for area of a sector with θ in 𝐃𝐄𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐒

    a = (θ/360)πr²

    Solve for θ:

    Divide both sides by πr²

    a/(πr²) = (θ/360)

    Multiply both sides by 360

    360a/(πr²) = θ

    θ = 360a/(πr²) <––––––
