Question

what is major sector and minor sector

Answer 1

A sector is a region bounded by two radii of a circle and the intercepted arc of the circle. The angle formed by the two radii is called a central angle. A sector with a central angle less than 180° is called a minor sector. A sector with a central angle greater than 180° is called a major sector.

Answer 2

Major sector and minor sector
