The betel palm, a species of palm tree found primarily in Asian countries, yields a seed known as a betel nut. Natives of the Asian and Indian countries where this tree is found use the nut much like those in Western countries use chewing tobacco or snuff.ixing it with spices or tobacco seems to improve its taste, but flavored betel nut is not always embraced in certain Asian countries. Long-term chewing can stain the user's teeth black and create a number of health problems requiring serious medical intervention.
Symbolically, the minor and major arcs are denoted by the following: The semicircle represents an arc whose endpoints coincide with endpoints of the diameter. The semicircle is represented by three points using the same methodology to represent a major arc.
Since 73Â° is less than 180Â°, we know that the first arc is a minor one. Since the buddy of a minor arc is always a major arc, we know right off the bat that our arc is major. We can find its measure by subtracting our original arc from the total measure of the circle. That gives us 360Â° â 73Â° = 287Â°. Our arc has a measure of 287Â°, much larger than 180Â° and definitely major. In addition to its measure, arcs have another property called arc length. The length of an arc is the distance a bug would have to crawl from one endpoint of the arc to the other, while staying on the circle the whole time.
