Given:
The measure of the minor arc of a circle is 60°
To find:
The measure of the corresponding major arc
Solution:
The measure of the corresponding major arc is 300°.
We can find the measure by following the steps given below-
Let the measure of the major arc be X.
We know that the sum of the major and minor arcs of a circle is equal to 360°.
Both the arcs add up to form a complete angle.
The measure of the minor arc is 60°
The measure of minor arc+ the measure of the major arc=360°
On putting the given values, we get
60°+ X=360°
X=360°-60°
X=300°
The measure of major arc, X=300°
Therefore, the measure of the corresponding major arc is 300°.
