A Practice

See Problem 1.

Name the following in circle dot o .

A circle with center O has diameters BE and CF, with arcs BC and EF smaller and radius OD between C and E, closer to E.

  1. the minor arcs
  2. the major arcs
  3. the semicircles

See Problem 2.

Find the measure of each arc in circle dot p .

A circle with center P has diameter DT, radius PB perpendicular to DT, and radius PC on the opposite side of PB, with angle CPT 128 degrees.
