name the highlighted arc.
name the highlighted arc.
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Identify arc - naming convention
An arc is named by its two endpoints. If it is a minor arc (less than a semi - circle), we use the two endpoints. If it is a major arc (more than a semi - circle), we use three points where the middle point is any point on the arc between the two endpoints.
Step2: Determine the type of the highlighted arc
The highlighted arc is more than a semi - circle. So, we name it using three points.
Step3: Name the arc
The endpoints are V and D, and we can choose P as the middle point. So the arc is named $\overset{\frown}{VPD}$.
Answer:
$\overset{\frown}{VPD}$
