Multiple choice

In a circle, $POQ$ is a diameter. "A" is a point on the circle and $\angle AOQ=70^o$. Find the measure of the arc AQ.

  1. $50^o$
  2. $40^o$
  3. $70^o$

  4. None of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

In a circle, the measure of an arc is equal to the central angle subtending it. Since angle AOQ = 70 degrees, the arc AQ is 70 degrees.

AI explanation

The measure of an arc is identical to the measure of the central angle that intercepts it. Since the central angle AOQ is 70 degrees, the measure of arc AQ is also 70 degrees.
