In the figure below, ΔABC is an isosceles triangle with vertex angle C and segment CD is tangent to the circle. If angle ACD measures 80 degrees, which is the measure of arc AB?

OpenStudy (geometry_hater):

im not good with multiple solving

OpenStudy (geometry_hater):

i dont get how its 50

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sory i am wrong. still thinking

OpenStudy (geometry_hater):

take your time...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2*80+c=180 => c=20

OpenStudy (geometry_hater):

where did you get 2*80 from?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in triangle abc a=b and b=angle acd

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry a=angle acd

OpenStudy (geometry_hater):

how though does it just randomly happen or something?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sincd cd is tanget cd || ab

OpenStudy (anonymous):

get it?

OpenStudy (geometry_hater):

ok i get how they are parallel

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since they are parallel due to parallel line property acd = cab
