Answer:

Explanation:

If the minor arc is 133, the major arc is going to be

Major arc = 360 - Minor arc

Minor arc = 133

Major arc = 360 - 133

Major arc = 227

Does this make sense? It should. If you put a line from C to A then extend it until it hit the circumference, you would get a diameter which is a 180o angle. The major arc through D is greater than 180. So 227 is a reasonable answer.
