Write True or False. Give reasons for your answers.
If a circle is divided into three equal arcs, each is a major arc.
Options
True
False
Solution
False.
Consider three arcs of same length as AB, BC, and CA. It can be observed that for minor arc BDC, CAB is a major arc. Therefore, AB, BC, and CA are minor arcs of the circle.
