Math Problem Statement

find arc DC

What is the measure of arc DC?

Solution

To find the measure of arc DCDC, let's analyze the given information:

  1. In the diagram, DAC=58\angle DAC = 58^\circ and DCA=106\angle DCA = 106^\circ.
  2. We observe that DD, AA, CC, and OO form a cyclic quadrilateral within a circle.

For cyclic quadrilaterals, opposite angles add up to 180180^\circ. Therefore:

DAC+DCA=180\angle DAC + \angle DCA = 180^\circ

Since DAC=58\angle DAC = 58^\circ, it implies:

ADC=180106=74\angle ADC = 180^\circ - 106^\circ = 74^\circ

Since
