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.
Major Arc
major arc
A whole circle is 360 deg so the major arc is 360-120 = 240 degrees.
Major arc.
major arc is the correct answer
A Mathematical Major Arc is the larger of the two arcs formed when a circle is divided into two unequal parts. Therefore as a result the measure of a major arc is always more than 180° and the sum of the measures of the major arc and the minor arc is always equal to 360°
No. Given two points on a circle, the minor arc is the shortest arc linking them. The major arc is the longest.
The length of the major arc is r*x where r is the radius of the circle and x is the larger of the angles, measured in radians, formed at the centre by the radii from the two ends of the arc. If you measure angles in degrees, the length is r*x*pi/180.
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°
No, arc measure is an ambiguous expression since it could also refer to the angular measure of the arc.

The measure of an arc is part of the circumference of a circle
Arc measure is the number of radians. Two similar arcs could have the same arc measure. Arc length is particular to the individual arc. One must consider the radius of the arc in question then multiply the arc measure (in radians) times the radius to get the length.
