How do you find the radius of a circle if the central angle is 36 degrees and the arc length of the sector is 2 pi cm?

The measure of the central angle divided by 360 degrees equals the arc length divided by circumference. So 36 degrees divided by 360 degrees equals 2pi cm/ 2pi*radius. 1/10=1/radius. Radius=10 cm.
