Given: AV and BD are diameters If chord CD is drawn, the measure of ∠ACD would be 39, 78, or102 https://media.glynlyon.com/g_geo_2012/7/group124.gif

First of all you said, "Given: AV and BD are diameters". I'm guessing that AV is supposed to be AC?

OpenStudy (mven):

yes it is sorry

OpenStudy (imstuck):

When you draw chord CD, the angle you are investigating now is an inscribed angle. The rule for that is this: The measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of its intercepted arc.

OpenStudy (imstuck):

If arc AD is 78, then its inscribed angle, ACD is...

OpenStudy (mven):

39?

OpenStudy (imstuck):

Yep!

OpenStudy (mven):

Ohhhh that makes sense thanks. and thanks for not just giving me the answer most people dont walk through it first.

OpenStudy (imstuck):

Remember that rule and you will do just fine with these!

OpenStudy (mven):
