Question

Circle O is shown. Line segments B O and O C are radii. Point A is on the circle and is not within angle B O C.

The measure of Arc B A C is 240. What is the ratio of the measure of the major arc to the measure of the minor arc?

3:1
1:3
2:1
1:2

Answer 1

2:1 because the circle is 360 degrees and the major arc is 240 so 360-240=120 this means the ratio is 240:120 then you simplify by dividing by 120 from both sides and getting 2:1
