The inscribed angle theorem says that the angle formed by two intersecting chords of a circle (the angle A between the chords AC and AB in this case) has half the measure of the central angle subtended by the arc containing those chords (arc CB in this case). So


m\angle BAC=\frac12m\angle BFC\implies m\angle BFC=2\cdot35^\circ=70^\circ
