I need help finding the measurement of angle C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

110 48 180 77

OpenStudy (lanhikari22):

I'm not exactly sure, I wonder if this is consistent. |dw:1446856344730:dw| I made some assumption that when a triangle intersects with a circle on every 3 points, the outer rotation is something 180 deg instead of 360, because i would think that every arc line that seems like it "zoomed out" of the angle is identical in angle. Hope I get corrected if I'm wrong, it's not even in the answers, anyway.

The circle still has 360°. The vertex of the angles in on the circle, so the arcs are twice the measure of the angle.|dw:1446868933696:dw|

Then use the fact that the angles in a triangle add up to 180° to find angle C

Directrix (directrix):

@TangerineSkyys Angles A, C, and B are inscribed angles of the circle and have measure 1/2 the intercepted arc. Arc CB is 96 because <A = 48. Arc AC is given to be 100. Arc CB + Arc AC + Arc AB = 360 96 + 110 + Arc AB = 360 Arc AB = 154. Arc AB is the arc intercepted by inscribed angle C. Angle C has measure 1/2 * 154 = 77 degrees |dw:1446873629598:dw|
