A major arc is defined as an arc of a circle that measures more than 180 degrees but less than 360 degrees. It is the larger of the two arcs created by two endpoints on the circumference of the circle. The exact measurement of a major arc can vary depending on the specific positions of its endpoints.
To find the measure of a major arc in a circle, first determine the measure of the corresponding minor arc, which is the smaller arc connecting the same two endpoints. The measure of the major arc is then calculated by subtracting the measure of the minor arc from 360 degrees. For example, if the minor arc measures 120 degrees, the major arc would measure 360 - 120 = 240 degrees.
A whole circle is 360 deg so the major arc is 360-120 = 240 degrees.

Since the minor arc is 30 degrees, the major arc is 330 degrees (360 - 30). So we have: 330 degrees : arc length 10 30 degrees : arc length x 330/30 = 10/x 11/1 = 10/x x = 10/11 x = 0.9 approximately So the length of the minor arc is approximately 0.9 units.
No. Given two points on a circle, the minor arc is the shortest arc linking them. The major arc is the longest.

A major arc must measure over 180 degrees, or pi radians
Since the minor arc is 30 degrees, the major arc is 330 degrees (360 - 30). So we have: 330 degrees : arc length 10 30 degrees : arc length x 330/30 = 10/x 11/1 = 10/x x = 10/11 x = 0.9 approximately So the length of the minor arc is approximately 0.9 units.
That will depend on the length of the arc but an arc radian of a circle is about 57.3 degrees
No. Given two points on a circle, the minor arc is the shortest arc linking them. The major arc is the longest.

It is simply greater than 180 degrees but less than 360 degrees
Just "degree", not "arc degree". A degree has 60 minutes; therefore, to convert from degrees to minutes, you multiply by 60.
