Answer 4

arc ACE is composed of arcs ABC and CDE

ie

arc ACE = arc ABC + arc CDE

arc ACE = 15 + 14

arc ACE = 29

and that's all there is to it

Oh, haha well thank you very much! (:

we can get away with this trick because there are no gaps and there are no overlaps when it comes to ABC and CDE making up ACE
