Question 11 • Geometry

What is true regarding two adjacent arcs created by two intersecting diameters?

Answer
A
They always have equal measures.
B
The sum of their measures is 180 degrees .
C
Their measures cannot be equal.
D
The difference of their measures is 90 degrees .

Explanation

The endpoints of each diameter divide the circle into two semicircles, each measuring 180°. Two adjacent arcs created by the intersecting diameters together make one of these semicircles, so their measures sum to 180°. Therefore, the true statement is “The sum of their measures is 180 degrees.”
