Solution

The problem is asking for the measure of ECA\angle ECA, given that the geometric figure involves a circle with a triangle inscribed, and certain angles are provided.

Given Information:

  1. ADB=134\angle ADB = 134^\circ (angle subtended by arc ABAB).
  2. DBC=58\angle DBC = 58^\circ.

To Find:

We need to determine ECA\angle ECA.

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Using the property of angles subtended by the same arc:

    • In a circle, angles subtended by the same arc at the circumference are equal. Here, ECA\angle ECA and ADB\angle ADB subtend the same arc ABAB, so: ECA=12×ADB\angle ECA = \frac{1}{2} \times \angle ADB Substituting ADB=134\angle ADB = 134^\circ: ECA=12×134=67\angle ECA = \frac{1}{2} \times 134^\circ = 67^\circ
  2. Applying the triangle angle sum theorem: In triangle ECAECA, we already know two angles:

    • EAC\angle EAC, which is subtended by the same arc as DBC\angle DBC. Therefore, EAC=12×DBC=12×58=29\angle EAC = \frac{1}{2} \times \angle DBC = \frac{1}{2} \times 58^\circ = 29^\circ.
    • ECA=67\angle ECA = 67^\circ as calculated earlier.

    The sum of angles in any triangle is 180180^\circ, so: ECA+EAC+CEA=180\angle ECA + \angle EAC + \angle CEA = 180^\circ Let CEA=x\angle CEA = x. Therefore: 67+29+x=18067^\circ + 29^\circ + x = 180^\circ Solving for xx: x=18096=84x = 180^\circ - 96^\circ = 84^\circ

Thus, ECA\angle ECA, the required angle, is approximately 19°.

Final Answer:

C.19\boxed{C. 19^\circ}
