Not necessarily. Only if the minor arc is less than 1/4 of the circle. If the minor arc

is more than 1/4 of the circle, then the central angle is obtuse.

Is The central angle of a minor arc is an acute angle?

Not necessarily. It can be obtuse. It cannot, however, be a reflex angle.


Is a central angle of a minor arc always an acute angle?

Sometimes~ Minor arcs have central angles less than 180 degrees because 180 is a semi-circle and above 180 is a major arc. An acute angle is less than 90 degrees, so this is only true sometimes.

If the measure of a minor arc is 155 what is the measure of its central angle?

Oh, dude, it's like a piece of cake! So, a minor arc is like a slice of pizza, right? And the central angle is like the angle at the center of the pizza. If the minor arc is 155 degrees, then the central angle is also 155 degrees. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!
