Question

The central angle of a circle measures 97 degrees and intercepts a minor arc. What is the measure of its major arc?

Answer 1

D. 263 degrees

Explanation:

We know that central angles are congruent to the arcs they encompass or intercept. So, if the minor arc is 97 degrees, and the total measure of a circle's arcs are 360 degrees, then the major arc is 263 degrees.

Therefore, the answer is D.
