Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

False. If it is divided in 2 equal parts then it is semicircle where no one is minor or major. But in 3 equal parts each is minor so as to form a complete circle.

Answer 2

Dear Student,

◆ Answer -

Given statement is False.

● Explanation -

Whole circle measures 360°. So if we divide a circle into three equal arcs, each arc would measure 360/3 = 120°.

As each of these arcs measure less than 180°, each is the minor arc.

Hence, given sentence is FALSE one.

Thanks dear for asking. Hope this helps you..
