ARCS, CENTRAL ANGLES, and CHORDS Worksheet Answers

1. If angle ABC = 70°, what is the measure of arc AC ? A

Arc AC = 70°
C
2. If arc AC = 58°, what is the measure of angle ABC ? B
Angle ABC = 58°
D
3. If angle ABC = 64°, what is the measure of arc ADC ?
Angle ADC = 360° – 64°
Angle ADC = 296°

4.
If arc CD  75, and arc AB  75, and CD  16, what is the measure of AB ?

See figure below # 5

Segment AB = 16

5. If segment CD = AB, and arc AB = 68°, what is the measure of arc

CD ?
C
Arc CD = 68°
D
P
A B
6. PY is perpendicular to and bisects AB, arc AB = 90°.
P
a) What is the measure of arc YB ?
A X B
Arc YB = AB/2 = 90 / 2 = 45°
Y

b) If segment AX = 23 cm, what is the measure of segment XB ?

Segment XB = segment AX = 23 cm

c) If segment XB = 10, what is the measure of AB ?

AB = 2(XB) = 2(10) = 20

d) If arc AB = 60°, what is the measure of major arc BAY ?

If arc AB = 60°, arcs AY & BY = 30°.

Major arc AB = 360° - 60° = 300°
Major arc BAY = Arc AY + major Arc AB
= 30° + 300° = 330°
