Major arc is the longer of two arcs.
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 length of an arc on a circle of radius 16, with an arc angle of 60 degrees is about 16.8.The circumference of the circle is 2 pi r, or about 100.5. 60 degrees of a circle is one sixth of the circle, so the arc is one sixth of 100.5, or 16.8.
Semi-circle.
Radius: A line from the center of a circle to a point on the circle. Central Angle: The angle subtended at the center of a circle by two given points on the circle.
No. Assuming the measure of the arc is in some units of length along the curve, you have to divide the result by the circumference of the circle. Basically, you need to multiply the area of the whole circle by the fraction of the whole circle that the sector accounts for.
An arc that measures less than a semicircle is called a minor arc. In a circle, a minor arc is defined as the shorter of the two arcs connecting two points on the circumference. It is less than 180 degrees in measure, while the corresponding longer arc is known as a major arc.
semicircle
To find the length of the arc of a semicircle, use the formula ( L = \pi r ), where ( r ) is the radius of the semicircle. Since a semicircle is half of a full circle, the total circumference of a circle is ( 2\pi r ), and the length of the arc for the semicircle is half of that. Simply multiply the radius by ( \pi ) to get the arc length.

If the arc is circular, such a figure is a semicircle or half circle.
Major arc.
An arc that connects to the endpoints of a diameter is known as a semicircle. This arc represents half of a circle and is formed by the points on the circle that lie between the two endpoints of the diameter. The diameter itself divides the circle into two equal halves, and the semicircle is the curved line connecting these points.
An arc that lies between the sides of a central angle of 180 degrees is known as a semicircle. A central angle of 180 degrees is half of a full circle, so the corresponding arc covers half of the circumference of the circle. In geometric terms, a semicircle is a special case of an arc where the angle subtended by the arc is exactly 180 degrees.
