Answer:

a = 57.5

b = 90

c = 65

Explanation:

The measure of an inscribed angle is half that of the arc it intercepts. The angle at 'a' intercepts an arc of 115°, so its measure is (115/2)° = 57.5°

__

The inscribed angle at 'b' is a semicircle, 180°, so the measure of 'b' is (180/2)° = 90°.

__

The arc 'c' is the remainder of a semicircle after 115° have been taken away. Its measure is 180° -115° = 65°.

(a, b, c) = (57.5, 90, 65)
