In the figure, seg PN and seg TC are the diameters of a circle. Write the measures of the arcs formed by the endpoints of these diameters and explain your answers.

PN is a straight line
So
∠ POT + ∠ TON = 180°
∠ TON = 180°-100°
∠ POT = ∠ CON = 100°
∠ POC = ∠ TON = 80°
According to the diagram
⇒ Taking point P & C of diameters
Minor arc = m(PWC) = 80°
Major arc = m(PYC) = 360°-80° = 280![]()
⇒ Taking point C & N of diameters
Minor arc = m(CZN) = 100°
Major arc = m(CXN) = 360°-100° = 260°
⇒ Taking point N & T of diameters
Minor arc = m(NYT) = 80°
Major arc = m(NWT) = 360°-80° = 280°
⇒ Taking point P & T of diameters
Minor arc = m(PXT) = 100°
Major arc = m(PZT) = 360° -100° = 260°
PN & TC are diameters of circle
⇒ Taking diameter PN
Semicircular arc are PTN & PCN
m(PTN) = m(PCN) = 180°
⇒ Taking diameter TC
Semicircular arc are TPC & TNC
m(TPC) = m(TNC) = 180°
