Question

question 9 of 10
given o below, is efg a minor arc, a major arc, or a semicircle?
a. minor arc
b. major arc
c. semicircle

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the definitions

A minor arc has a measure less than \(180^{\circ}\). A major arc has a measure greater than \(180^{\circ}\). A semicircle has a measure equal to \(180^{\circ}\).

Step2: Determine the measure of the arc

The measure of the central angle corresponding to arc \(\overparen{EFG}\) is \(360^{\circ}- 150^{\circ}=210^{\circ}\)

Answer:

B. Major arc
