1. Problem Description

The problem is to identify a major arc in the given circle. A major arc is an arc of a circle having a measure greater than or equal to 180 degrees but less than 360 degrees. We are given that FF is the center of the circle and GIGI is a diameter. Also, the measure of GFH\angle GFH is 100100^\circ.

2. Solution Steps

A diameter divides the circle into two semicircles, each measuring 180180^\circ. Since GIGI is a diameter, the arc GIGI is a semicircle. We also know the measure of GFH\angle GFH is 100100^\circ, so the measure of arc GHGH is 100100^\circ.
We are looking for a major arc. A major arc is an arc with a measure greater than 180180^\circ.
Consider the arc GIHGIH. The measure of arc GIGI is 180180^\circ, and the measure of arc GHGH is 100100^\circ. So the measure of arc GIHGIH is the measure of arc GIGI + measure of arc GHGH = 180+100=280180^\circ + 100^\circ = 280^\circ. Since 280>180280^\circ > 180^\circ, the arc GIHGIH is a major arc.
Consider the arc HIGHIG. The measure of the complete circle is 360360^\circ. We know arc GHGH is 100100^\circ, so arc HIGHIG = 360100=260360^\circ - 100^\circ = 260^\circ. Since 260>180260^\circ > 180^\circ, the arc HIGHIG is a major arc.
