Multiply by pi, divide by 180.
36*pi/180 = pi/5
=~ 0.62832 radians

There are 2%2Api radians in a circle
If you are given an angle in degrees,
(number of degrees) x (2%2Api radians/360 degrees)
is your conversion formula
36 degrees x 2%2Api%2F360 radians/degree = %2836%2F360%29%2A2%2Api
%281%2F10%29%2A2%2Api
pi%2F5 radians answer
There should be 10 pi%2F5 radians in a circle, and there are:
10%2A%28pi%2F5%29+=+2%2Api
OK
