1. What is the measure of a central angle that subtends a minor arc of 80 degrees?
40 degrees
80 degrees
160 degrees
360 degrees
2. An arc that measures exactly 180 degrees is called a:
Minor arc
Major arc
Semicircle
Full circle
3. The measure of an arc is equal to the measure of its corresponding .
4. The formula for the length of an arc is L = (θ/360) * .
