What is the measure of DF? Or how do I find it exactly?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is the measurement of the central angle the same as the arc?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Yes.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

An arc has the same degree measure as the central angle that intercepts it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Since a whole circle equals 360 degrees, you would have to do 360-60=300. Arc DF would be 300 degrees.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But DF is within the two lines...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's asking about the minor arc.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The major arc would be 300.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the arc is given by the formula: \[s=r \theta\] where s is the arc length, r is the radius and \[\theta\] is the angle in radian

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's 60 degrees. Thank you for the help.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The minor arc would be 60 degrees and the major arc would be 300 degrees.
