The formula for finding the length of an arc on a circle should be L = 2πr (x/360). In this sense, to solve for x we need to isolate x on one side of the equation. So start with multiplying both sides by 360. That would give us
360 L = 2πr (x)
Now divide both sides by 2πr:
360L/(2πr) = x
Thus, x = 360L/(2πr) .
