Which of the following is defined to be an arc that lies between the side of an obtuse inscribed angle?
Major arc- Answe from Apex
How many angles are on a pentagon?
Just one. Sgt. Major Ron Angle. Fact.
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.
What is the measure of the angle formed by two tangents drawn to a circle from an external point if they intersect a major arc whose measure is 230?
-- The major arc = 230 degrees-- The minor arc ... the arc between the tangents ... is (360 - 230) = 130 degrees.-- The line from the vertex of the angle to the center of the circle bisects the arc,so the angle between that line and the radius to each tangent is 65 degrees.-- The radius to each tangent is perpendicular to the tangent. So the radius, the tangent,and the line from the vertex to the center of the circle is a right triangle.-- In the right triangle, there's 90 degrees where the radius meets the tangent, and65 degrees at the center of the circle. That leaves 25 degrees for the angle at thevertex.-- With another 25 degrees for the right triangle formed by the other tangent,the total angle formed by the two tangents is 50 degrees.
