Answer:

i get mABC = 270°

This is fairly straight forward once you the right angle symbol for the arc AC. Also realizing the 148° for mAB is not needed for this question. The 148° for mAB would be useful if you wanted to calculate arc mBC.

Remember there are 360° in a circle.

The arc mAC is 90°

The arc mABC is the rest of the circle. is the arc from A to B to C

arc ABC + arc AC is the full circle 360°

mABC + mAC = 360° mAC = 90°

mABC + 90° = 360° - 90° from both sides

mABC = 360° - 90°

mABC = 270°
