Question

Can anyone answer this for me and explain? I’ll give a thanks.

Answer 1

Answer:

  86°

Step-by-step explanation:

If you draw a line segment AC, it forms the rest of right triangle ACB with the right angle at C. Then angle BAC is the complement of the given angle:

  ∠BAC = 90° -47° = 43°

The inscribed angle BAC intercepts arc BC, so the arc measure will be double the angle measure.

  arc BC = 2·43° = 86°

__

Another way to get there is to realize that arc BCA is 180°, because AB is a diameter. As above, arc AC will be double the measure of inscribed angle ABC, so arc AC has measure 94°.

  arc BC = arc ACB - arc AC

  arc BC = 180° -94°

  arc BC = 86°
