Answer:

Suppose that we have a circle of radius R.

The total perimeter of this circle will be:

P = 2*pi*R

Where pi = 3.14159...

Now, if we have a section of this circle with an angle A, the "chord" of this section will be:

C = (A/360°)*2*pi*R.

Where you can see that if A = 360° (so the section is the whole circle) the chord is equal to the perimeter.

In this particular case, the chord is equal to the radius of the circle, then we get:

C = R = (A/360°)*2*pi*R

We need to solve this for A.

R = (A/360°)*2*pi*R

We can divide both sides by R to get:

1 = (A/360°)*2*pi

Now we need to isolate A.

(360°/2*pi) = A = 57.3°

This would be the angle in the minor arc.

And the angle for the mayor arc would be the difference between the angle for a whole circle (360°) and the angle of this section (57.3°)

The angle for the major arc is:

A = 360° - 57.3° = 302.7°
