Answer: The measure of the major arc is 68 degrees plus the measure of the small arc.

In the problem given, we don't know all the needed measurements (is there a diagram?). Therefore, we can find an expression for the answer, not the value itself.

The angles are related with the following expression.

Outside Angle = 0.5 (Major Arc - Minor Arc)

Solving for the major arc gives us.

34 = 0.5 (y - x)

68 = y - x

68 + x = y
