Quite simple, actually: you just need to remember that $2pi = 360º$ .

If
$2pi = 360º$
$(2pi)/5 = x$

Let's do a step-by-step here.

We can multiply these in 'cross', and maintain the equality, like this:

$2pi*x = (2pi)/5*360º$

we can divide both sides by $2pi$ , to simplify. Then, we'd have left:

$x = (360º)/5$

So, $x = 72º$

$72^circ$

Remember that $pi$ is $180^circ$

So,

$rarr(2(180))/5$

$rarr(2(cancel180^36))/cancel5^1$

$rarr2(36)$

$color(green)(rArr72^circ$
