OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

I think 160 degrees is measure of arc AED ... ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes.. sorry!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and bd is an arc as well

OpenStudy (rulnick):

40 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bcd is 40?

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

Yes the formula would give:\[\frac 12 \left(AED-BD \right)= \frac 12 (160-80)\]

OpenStudy (rulnick):

Yes, measure of BCD is 40 degrees.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you!

Directrix (directrix):

The measure of an angle formed by a secant and a tangent drawn from a point OUTSIDE the circle is half the the difference of the intercepted arcs. 1/2(160 - 80) = 1/2 (80) = 40
