LOOK BACK For the definition of a central angle, see p. 454.
Any two points A and B on a circle C determine a minor arc and a major arc (unless the points lie on a diameter).
If the measure of aACB is less than 180, then A, B, and all the points on C that lie in the interior of aACB form a minor arc .
Points A, B, and all the points on C that do not lie on AsB form a major arc .
You name an arc by its endpoints.
Use one other point on a major arc
D
as part of its name to distinguish it
from the minor arc.

The measures of a minor arc and a major arc depend on the
central angle of the minor arc.
The measure of a minor arc is the measure of its central angle.

The measure of a major arc is the
difference of 360 and the measure of the related minor arc.

A semicircle is an arc whose central angle measures 180. A semicircle is named by three points. Its measure is 180.

Two circles are congruent circles if they have the same radius. Two arcs of the same circle or of congruent circles are congruent arcs if they have the same measure.

Solution a. Notice that AsB and DsC are in the same circle. Because mAsB mDsC 45, AsB c DsC .
b. Notice that XsY and Zs W are not in the same circle or in congruent circles. Therefore, although mXsY mZs W 65, XsY ? Zs W .
