Best answer

Yes, the major arcs corresponding to congruent chords (diameters) are congruent. 

Given: O is the centre of circle. 

seg PQ and seg RS are the diameters. 

To prove: arc PYQ ≅ arc RYS

Proof: 

seg PQ and seg RS are the diameters of the same circle. [Given] 

∴ arc PYQ and arc RYS are semicircular arcs. 

∴ m(arc PYQ) = m(arc RYS) = 180° [Measure of a semicircular arc is 180°] 

∴ arc PYQ ≅ arc RYS
