measure of arc op=2*35=70
measure of arc qr=2*35=70
measure of arc pq=180-(70+70)=40

pq is 40/360 of the circumference

1/9 * 2 pi*9=2pi

Thanks Tini. I forgot to take away another 70 degrees.

The formula x/360 helps. Also, since the D = 18pi, 1/9 * 18/1 = 2pi

Thanks for your help :)

why is the measure of op= to 70 and not 35?
