Question

if the measure of minor arc of a circle is 60° then the measure of corresponding major arc is ??​

Answer 1

Answer:

300

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Measure of minor arc=60

Major arc=Area of circle - minor arc

Answer 2

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°.
