You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If you want to find an "angel", either at the center of a sector or anywhere else, I suggest you consult your local priest, pastor, holy man, tribal shaman, or whatever floats your particular boat.
If you want the central angle of a sector of a circle with radius 21 cm where the perimeter of the sector, i.e. 2 times the circle radius plus the measure of the subtended arc is 53 cm, then:
So the arc length is 11 cm.
The circumference of the entire circle is  and the radian measure of the entire circle is  . The angle measure of the central angle of the sector ("CA") is in proportion to the radian measure of the entire circle as the arc length is to the circumference:
 radians.
for an approximate value in degrees multiply by 180 and divide by a convenient approximation of
