Step 1Given, Two intersecting circles with centers C and D and arc AB and EF respectively. We have to find the congruency between the arcs AB and EF.Step 2From the diagramRadius of circle with center C=6Now,AB=95∘360∘×2π(6)(applied the formula for length of arc =θ360∘×2π (radius)  where θ is the central angle)⇒AB=196×π⇒AB=196π (1)Step 3From the diagramRadius of circle with center D=6Now,EF=95∘360∘×2π(6)(applied the formula for length of arc =θ360∘×2π (radius)  where θ is the central angle)⇒EF=196×π⇒EF=196π (2)Step 4From (1) and (2). Two arcs are congruent because they have the same measure and  are in congruent circles.
