Answers:

  • A) 315 degrees
  • B) 45 degrees

==================================

Step-by-step explanation:

  • A) The minor and major arcs must add to a full 360 degree circle. Use the formula minor+major = 360. Replace "minor" with 45 and it solves to get major = 315. Put another way: major = 360-minor = 360-45 = 315.
  • B) The central angle is equal to the minor arc measure.
