Question

BC is tangent to circle D at point C. The measure of ∠BDC is 35º.

What is the measure of ∠DBC?


35º

55º

90º

180º

Answer 1

the answer is 55 degrees

Explanation:

I just took the test on k12

Answer 2

The angle formed between the point of the tangent line to the line drawn from the center of the circle is 90°, thus, ∠BCD is equal to 90°. We also know that the summation os all angles in a triangle is 180°, therefore, we can have the equation below in solving for the angle of DBC.
180°=∠BCD + ∠BDC +∠DBC
180°=90° +35°+∠DBC
∠DBC=55°
The answer is 55°.
