Can someone explain major and minor arcs in relation to circles.

Mathematics

A Major Arc within a circle is something that that is more than half of the circle, and therefore, larger than the minor arc. The way in which this could be used in an example is; Tony has a pizza with 8 slices, 6 of these slices are pepperoni and 2 are chilli beef. In this case, the pepperoni slices are the major arc and the chilli beef slices are the minor arc.
The Major Arc will always be bigger than the minor arc- whether this is 181 degrees to 179, or whether this is 350 degrees to 10 degrees.
The Minor Arc is always the smallest arc, and this can be explained by; Benedict has an apple pie that has 10 slices, between him and his friends, they have eaten four slices. In this case, they have eaten the 'minor arc'
There is a picture attached, and this is the examples of a major and a minor arc.
Hope this has been able to help you :)

Line segment AB has endpoints A(1,8) and B(7,−4). What are the coordinates of the point located 5/6 of the way from A to B?
const2013 [10]

The coordinate of the point is (6,-2)

<h3>How to determine the coordinate of the point?</h3>

The given parameters are:

A = (1,8)

B = (7,-4)

The location of the point (i.e 5/6) means that the ratio is:

m :n = 5 : (6 - 5)

m : n = 5 : 1

The coordinate of the point is then calculated as:

(x,y) = \frac{1}{m + n}* (mx_2 + nx_1,my_2 + ny_1)

So, we have:

(x,y) = \frac{1}{5 + 1}* (5 * 7 + 1 * 1 , 5 * -4 + 1 * 8)

Evaluate

(x,y) = \frac{1}{6}* (36 , -12)

Evaluate the product

(x,y) = (6,-2)

Hence, the coordinate of the point is (6,-2)

Help me please it just hard for a newbie like me
Makovka662 [10]
Hello there,
Part 1:
Perimeter of Red = 11+11+11+11 
                            = 44
Perimeter of Blue= 6+6+6+6
                            = 24
Ratio: Red : Blue
             44 : 24(divide by 4) 
              11 : 6
Part 2:
Area of Red= 11 x 11
                   = 121
Area of Blue= 6 x 6
                   = 36
Ratio: Red : Blue
             121: 36
             
Hope this helps :))
