Mario is looking at a circular garden having pathways tangent to the circle from an exterior point as shown in the sketch below. If the angle formed by the tangent pathways in the exterior of the circle is 50°, what are the degree measures of the major arc and the minor arc intercepted by the tangents in the circle? Explain how you arrived at your answer.
