Question

What is the arc measure of major arc \stackrel{\large{\frown}}{ACB}

ACB
⌢
A, C, B, start superscript, \frown, end superscript on circle PPP in degrees?

Answer 1

286°

Explanation:

A circle is the locus of a point such that its distance from a fixed point (known as the center) is always constant. This distance is known as the radius of the circle.

A major arc is an arc larger than a semicircle, therefore its measure is greater than 180°. A minor arc is an arc smaller than a semicircle, therefore its measure is less than 180°.

The arc measure of
`\stackrel{\large{\frown}}{ACB}=angle\ about\ a\ point-\stackrel{\large{\frown}}{AB}`

The arc measure of
`\stackrel{\large{\frown}}{ACB}=360-74=286^o\\`
