If the minor arc has a measure of 120 degrees what is the measure of the major arc?
A whole circle is 360 deg so the major arc is 360-120 = 240 degrees.
What arc whose measure is greater than a semicircle?
Major arc.
Does a minor arc measure exactly 180 degrees?
No. Given two points on a circle, the minor arc is the shortest arc linking them. The major arc is the longest.
What is the arc formed where a Central angle in a circle intersects the circle itself?
The arc formed where a central angle intersects the circle is called a "major arc" or "minor arc," depending on the size of the angle. The minor arc is the shorter path between the two points where the angle intersects the circle, while the major arc is the longer path. The measure of the arc in degrees is equal to the measure of the central angle that subtends it.
How do find major arcs in a circle?
To find major arcs in a circle, first identify the endpoints of the arc on the circumference. Measure the angle subtended by the endpoints at the center of the circle; if the angle is greater than 180 degrees, the arc is a major arc. Alternatively, you can calculate the minor arc (the shorter arc between the two points) and subtract its length from the total circumference to find the length of the major arc. Major arcs are typically labeled with three points, including the endpoints and a point on the arc itself.
What is arc measure?

A major arc will have a measure that is?
A major arc must measure over 180 degrees, or pi radians
If the minor arc has a measure of 120 degrees what is the measure of the major arc?
A whole circle is 360 deg so the major arc is 360-120 = 240 degrees.
What arc whose measure is greater than a semicircle?
Major arc.
An arc whose measure is greater than 180 is called a?
major arc is the correct answer
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°
Does a minor arc measure exactly 180 degrees?
No. Given two points on a circle, the minor arc is the shortest arc linking them. The major arc is the longest.
What is the measure of a major arc?
The length of the major arc is r*x where r is the radius of the circle and x is the larger of the angles, measured in radians, formed at the centre by the radii from the two ends of the arc. If you measure angles in degrees, the length is r*x*pi/180.
The measure of a major arc is greater than 180?
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°
Is arc length the same as arc measure?
No, arc measure is an ambiguous expression since it could also refer to the angular measure of the arc.

What is the measure of an arc?
The measure of an arc is part of the circumference of a circle
