major arc
A circle subtends 360° . Therefore. if the angle subtended at the centre of a circle by an arc is greater than 180° then this is the major arc. By comparison, the minor arc will subtend an angle less than 180°
The arc length is the radius times the arc degree in radians
An arc whose measure is less than 180 degrees is called a Minor Arc.
