If arcAC=48, what is mBD?

OpenStudy (ashleyisakitty):

OpenStudy (compassionate):

Are we assuming that AC is congruent to AD? Is there any additional information?

OpenStudy (ashleyisakitty):

that AB is perpendicular to CD

OpenStudy (compassionate):

Alright. Thanks. That helps a lot. I'm breaking out my trusty pen and paper.

OpenStudy (compassionate):

My pencil broke. This is an emergency. I require a pencil sharpener. BRB as I frantically search.

OpenStudy (ashleyisakitty):

okay hurry back T-T

@ganeshie8 DON'T YOU SNIPE ME AGAIN

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

il give a hint maybe : mBD = mBC

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

:)

OpenStudy (ashleyisakitty):

Am i supposed to find wht BD is through using the arc 48? I really dont know.

OpenStudy (ashleyisakitty):

vague hints arent really helpful...

OpenStudy (nikato):

ok. do u know that thoerem that states an inscribed angles is half the measure of its intercepted arc?

OpenStudy (nikato):

|dw:1390276506003:dw|

OpenStudy (nikato):

with that thoerem, u will find this |dw:1390276593528:dw|

OpenStudy (nikato):

and using that the sum of a trinalge = 180. so 90+24+x=180 and x=66 |dw:1390276703687:dw| and yea, its that conjecture thing

OpenStudy (nikato):

and finally since arc BD is the intercepted arc of inscribed angle BAD. arc BD=66x2 or132

OpenStudy (compassionate):

Okay guys I'm back. @Ashleyisakitty ?
