In circle A shown below, Segment BD is a diameter and the measure of Arc CB is 36°. http://learn.flvs.net/webdav/assessment_images/educator_geometry_v14/pool_Geom_3641_0801_04/image0054e847c99.gif What is the measure of ∡DBC?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Inscribed angles are half of the arc which they cut. The diameter divides the circle into 2 180º arcs.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its18?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, that's the measure of angle CDB.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then how do i find DBC?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

angle DBC has vertex at B. Arc BCD is half the circle, so =180º subtract from that arc BC or 36º to get arc CD.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Angle DBC is half of arc CD.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

162?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sry typo 72

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can also confirm that using the three angles of that triangle, 90+18+72 = 180.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay! :)
