1. Problem Description

We are given a circle with center F. The central angle angleGFHangle GFH measures 100100^\circ. We need to find the measure of the major arc GJHGJH.

2. Solution Steps

The measure of a full circle is 360360^\circ.
The measure of arc GHGH is equal to the measure of the central angle angleGFHangle GFH, which is given as 100100^\circ.
Therefore, mGH=100m \stackrel{\frown}{GH} = 100^\circ.
The major arc GJHGJH is the rest of the circle besides the minor arc GHGH.
Thus, the measure of major arc GJHGJH is the difference between the full circle (360360^\circ) and the minor arc GHGH (100100^\circ).
mGJH=360mGHm \stackrel{\frown}{GJH} = 360^\circ - m \stackrel{\frown}{GH}
mGJH=360100m \stackrel{\frown}{GJH} = 360^\circ - 100^\circ
mGJH=260m \stackrel{\frown}{GJH} = 260^\circ

3. Final Answer

260
