Problem
A circular dartboard is divided into regions with various central angles, as shown. The probability of a dart randomly landing in a particular region is . What is the corresponding measure, in degrees, of the central angle of this section of the dartboard? 
Solution
Let be the area of the circular dartboard. If the measure of a central angle of a sector is degrees, then the area of the sector is . The probability of the dart landing in a region is ratio of the area of the region to the area of the dartboard, so Solve to find .
Final answer
60
