major arc simple definition

A major arc is a part of a circle that spans an angle greater than 180 degrees, forming the longer of two possible arcs between two points on the curve.

A major arc is a portion of a circle that is larger than a semicircle. It is defined by two endpoints on the circumference of the circle and includes all the points in between those two endpoints.

A major arc is a portion of a circle that spans more than half of its circumference. In simpler terms, it is a curved line segment within a circle that measures more than 180 degrees. To find the measure of a major arc, you need to know the measure of the central angle formed by the arc and the center of the circle.
