Point is the center of a circle. The measure of arc on this circle is . What is the measure, in degrees, of its associated angle ?
Correct answer: 100
Explanation
The correct answer is . It's given that point is the center of a circle and the measure of arc on the circle is . It follows that points and lie on the circle. Therefore, and are radii of the circle. A central angle is an angle formed by two radii of a circle, with its vertex at the center of the circle. Therefore, is a central angle. Because the degree measure of an arc is equal to the measure of its associated central angle, it follows that the measure, in degrees, of is .
