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.

the measure of a minor arc equals the measure of the central angle that intercepts it.
You can draw exactly four of the those right-angled sectors in a circle. The definition of a sector is quoted as "the portion of a circle bounded by two radii and the included arc". The circumference of a circle = 2*pi*radius. The arc of each sector will be 0.5*pi*radius.
The answer depends on the angle between the mirrors. The distance between the mirrors does not, in theory, make any difference. If the angle between the mirrors is x degrees, then the theoretical number of images is (360/x)- 1 which is rounded down. In practice, minor defects in the mirrors, refraction, total internal refraction, absorptions, scattering etc will reduce the number of images.The answer depends on the angle between the mirrors.

The short answer is: because that is what a kite is. Long answer (although some minor steps have been skipped): Consider a kite, ABCD, where AB = DA and BC = CD Draw the diagonal AC. Then triangles ABC and ACD are congruent (SSS). So angle BAC = angle DAC. Now draw diagonal BD which intersects AC at E. Then triangles ABE and ADE are congruent (SAS) So angle AEB = angle AED. But these angles are supplementary. Therefore they must be right angles.
Major is a word. It is the antonym of minor.
