1. Problem Description

The problem is to identify the central angle, a major arc, and a minor arc in a circle with center rr, diameter GIGI, and mGFH=100m\angle GFH = 100^\circ. The first two questions are already answered with correct answers.

2. Solution Steps

(a) The given central angle is GFH\angle GFH. This answer is already correct, which can be confirmed by visual inspection of the image.
(b) A major arc is an arc that is greater than half the circle. The prompt asks for a major arc. Since GIGI is a diameter, the arc GIHGIH goes from GG to HH to II. Since the measure of arc GHGH is 100100^\circ, the arc GIHGIH covers 180+100=280180^\circ + 100^\circ = 280^\circ, which is greater than 180180^\circ. So, GIHGIH is a major arc. This answer is already correct in the prompt.
(c) A minor arc is an arc that is less than half the circle (less than 180180^\circ). From the image, we can see that arc GHGH is a minor arc. Also, arc IHIH is a minor arc.
Since GIGI is a diameter, mGFI=180m\angle GFI = 180^\circ.
Given that mGFH=100m\angle GFH = 100^\circ, then mHFI=180100=80m\angle HFI = 180^\circ - 100^\circ = 80^\circ.
Therefore, the measure of arc HIHI is 8080^\circ. Since this measure is less than 180180^\circ, then HIHI is a minor arc.
