A minor arc.
The "Far Arc Near Arc theorem" is used in finding the angle measures of a secant.
A radian measures the degree of the arc. For instance, π radians is 180°. Then, the arc with π radians measures 180°.

Arc AB represents 40/240 = 1/6 of the circumference of the circle. As the angle at the centre subtended by the whole circle is 360° then ∠A0B (if the center is O) measures 1/6 x 360 = 60°. Since a central angle has the same number of degrees as the arc it intercepts, the arc ACB (note we can call the arc AB as arc ACB) measures 60°.
