An arc that measures exactly 180 degrees is called a semicircle. In a circle, a semicircle is formed when an arc spans half of the circumference, which corresponds to 180 degrees. Semicircles are important in geometry and trigonometry, often used in calculations involving angles and circles.

What type of arc measures exactly 180?
It is half the circumference of a circle that has an arc of 180 degrees
What type of arc lies between the two sides of a central angle and measures less than 180 degrees?
Minor arc
What is an arc that measures less than 180 called?
It could be either acute or obtuse.
What is a Major Arc?
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°
What is true of the type of angle in this lesson It measures half the difference of the arcs it intercepts. It measures twice the sum of the arc it intercepts. It measures half the sum of the arcs it?
It measures half the sum of the arcs it intercepts.
