What is the measure of ARC JK?

Directrix (directrix):

You need this theorem: If a diameter of a circle is perpendicular to a chord of the circle, the diameter bisects the chords and its arcs.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

90 degrees

Directrix (directrix):

Not 90. I'm drawing. Just a second.

Where you talking about the ark?

Directrix (directrix):

Look on the attachment above you. arcjk.jpg

125 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

Directrix (directrix):

What is the measure of ARC JK? This is the question I am helping with.

Directrix (directrix):

Yes, 125.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, so that's how you figure arcs out? So 125 would be the answer?

Directrix (directrix):

That is how that particular arc is computed. 125 degrees is the measure of both arcs JK and JN

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I saw that. Thank you. I get it now :)

Directrix (directrix):

Happy to help. Learn those theorems. :)
