Answer:

4. 158

Explanation:

First let's make things a little simpler and put these arcs in terms of x. We know that the degree measure around the outside of a circle, regardless of its size, is 360. So let's say that arc BC is x. That means that arc BDC is 360 - x. This is because arc BC + arc BDC = 360. Substituting in our x's we have:

x + 360 - x = 360 and

360 = 360. (That's just the proof that putting in our x's as we did does in fact work!)

Following the formula then, we have


22=(1)/(2)(360-x-x) and


22=(1)/(2)(360-2x)

Multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of the fraction and get

44 = 360 - 2x

Subtract 360 rom both sides to get

-316 = -2x

Divide both sides by -2 to get that x = 158

Since we are looking for arc BC and we designated arc BC as our x, that means that arc BC = 158.
