Question

Circle B is shown. Line segments C B, D B, and E B are radii and they form 3 congruent angles. What does Arc C D E describe? a minor arc a major arc a semicircle a chord

Answer 1

Answer:

a major arc

Step-by-step explanation:

A circle is the locus of  point in which has a given distance from a fixed point (center of the circle).

B is the center of the circle C B, D B, and E B are radii forming 3 congruent angle. Since the sum of angles in a circle is 360°, the 3 line segments form 3 congruent angles of 120° each (360/3).

Therefore the angle measure of Arc C D E =  Arc CD + Arc DE = 120° + 120° = 240°

A major arc is an arc greater than a semicircle (> 180°). This means that Arc C D E is a major arc
