Finding angle of sector which forms a cone
$begingroup$
To find the angle where it is in rad,
am I right to say that $10*(angle in rad)=2pi*(radius of cone)$

The radius of the sector is the lateral height $l$ of the cone, and the length of the arc is the circumference of the base, that is, $2pi r$. So the angle you ask for is
$$theta=frac{2pi r}{2pi l}=frac rl$$
measured in radians.

Why do you divide by $2pi l$ instead of just $l$?
