Understanding Arc Measures and Angles in Circle P

The video tutorial explains how to determine the arc measure of a minor arc in a circle by using the central angle that intercepts the arc. It demonstrates solving for variables K and Y in equations to find the arc measures, emphasizing the relationship between vertical angles and their congruence. The tutorial provides two examples to illustrate these concepts, ensuring a clear understanding of how to calculate arc measures in degrees.

What is the difference between a minor arc and a major arc?

• A minor arc is longer than a major arc.

• A minor arc is shorter than a major arc.

• A minor arc is equal in length to a major arc.

• A minor arc is not part of a circle.

How is the measure of an arc related to the central angle?

• The arc measure is unrelated to the central angle.

• The arc measure is the same as the central angle.

• The arc measure is double the central angle.

• The arc measure is half of the central angle.
