Definition 4.3:
An arc of a circle is a portion
︵
of the circumference.
The minor arc (denoted by AB) is shorter than half of ︵
the circumference and the major arc (denoted by AXB)
is longer than half of the circumference.

Conversely, equal arcs in a circle subtend equal
chords, that is,
︵ ︵
if AB = CD
Content then AB = CD.
