In circle A shown below, Segment BD is a diameter and the measure of Arc CB is 36°:

OpenStudy (prince1342):

What is the measure of ∠DBC? 36° 72° 18° 54°

OpenStudy (prince1342):

@Orange_ Is this one more easy to understand?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

as BAD is a diameter m < BCD = 90 degrees Now if you can find m < BDC you can find m <DBC

OpenStudy (prince1342):

What do you mean?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

i think m< CDB = measure of the given arc

OpenStudy (welshfella):

the 3 angles of a triangle add up to 180 so <BDC = 180 - (90 + < BDC)

OpenStudy (prince1342):

126

OpenStudy (welshfella):

* correction < DBC = 180 - 990 + < BDC)

OpenStudy (welshfella):

180 - 126

OpenStudy (prince1342):

54

OpenStudy (welshfella):

yep

OpenStudy (welshfella):

Yea - i looked up the relevant theorem about arcs .

OpenStudy (welshfella):

We never did those in school. (Many years ago!!!!!)

OpenStudy (welshfella):

I'm talking about just after WWII.

Oh wow, thanks though!!!
