24=r^{2}\times \frac{360-\theta }{360}
Cancel out \pi on both sides.
8640=r^{2}\left(360-\theta \right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 360.
8640=360r^{2}-r^{2}\theta
Use the distributive property to multiply r^{2} by 360-\theta .
360r^{2}-r^{2}\theta =8640
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-r^{2}\theta =8640-360r^{2}
Subtract 360r^{2} from both sides.
\left(-r^{2}\right)\theta =8640-360r^{2}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-r^{2}\right)\theta }{-r^{2}}=\frac{8640-360r^{2}}{-r^{2}}
Divide both sides by -r^{2}.
\theta =\frac{8640-360r^{2}}{-r^{2}}
Dividing by -r^{2} undoes the multiplication by -r^{2}.
\theta =360-\frac{8640}{r^{2}}
Divide 8640-360r^{2} by -r^{2}.
