QQuestion
The angle in the segment of a circle which is greater than a semicircle is acute or obtuse?
✓Answer
The angle in the segment of a circle which is greater than a semicircle is acute.
Explanation:
An angle in a semicircle is a right angle (90°). If the segment is greater than a semicircle, the angle lies in the smaller part of the circle, so it is less than 90°, that is, acute.
