Answer:

89.0°

Explanation:

The segment from the centre of the circle to the chord is a perpendicular bisector, hence

third side of right triangle = 12.7 ÷ 2 = 6.35

The angle subtended at the centre by arc CD is twice the angle subtended by the right triangle at the centre

The triangle from the centre to C is congruent to the triangle from the centre to D

Calculate the angle (Θ ) in the right triangle using the sine ratio

sinΘ =
(opposite)/(hypotenuse) =
(6.35)/(9.06)

Θ =
sin^(-1) (
(6.35)/(9.06) ) ≈ 44.5°

Hence

measure of CD = 2 × Θ = 2 × 44.5 = 89.0°
