Math Problem Statement

Find the measure of the indicated arc.

Solution

To find the measure of the indicated arc \overarcAC\overarc{AC}, let's analyze the given information:

  1. Central Angle: The angle at the center of the circle (which is the angle subtended by arc BCBC) is given as 145145^\circ.
  2. Inscribed Angle: The angle BAC\angle BAC is 4747^\circ.

Key Concept:

  • The measure of an inscribed angle is always half the measure of the arc it subtends.

Given that BAC\angle BAC is 4747^\circ, it subtends the arc ACAC. Therefore, the arc \overarcAC\overarc{AC} is: \overarcAC=2×BAC=2×47=94\overarc{AC} = 2 \times \angle BAC = 2 \times 47^\circ = 94^\circ

Thus, the measure of the indicated arc ACAC is 9494^\circ.
