The length of the major arc is 10 the minor arc is 30 degrees find the length of the minor arc?
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.
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.
How many ways can an arc be tangent to 2 lines?
Although normally it is the line that is considered to be tangent to an arc, an arc can be tangent to infinitely many lines and so the answer to the question is: in infinitely many ways.
What describes an arc that lies between the sides of a central angle of 180?
An arc that lies between the sides of a central angle of 180 degrees is known as a semicircle. A central angle of 180 degrees is half of a full circle, so the corresponding arc covers half of the circumference of the circle. In geometric terms, a semicircle is a special case of an arc where the angle subtended by the arc is exactly 180 degrees.
Is a circle an arc?
an arc is a segment of a circle. If the arc subtends a full angle of 360 degrees, then the arc is a circle; but this is a special case of an arc.
