Solution

Explanation:

The relevant relations are ...

external angle A is half the difference of intercepted arcs BC and BD

inscribed angle y° is half the measure of intercepted arc CD

the sum of arcs of a circle is 360°

__

Using these relations, we have ...

(a) A = (BC -x°)/2

x° = BC -2A = 114° -2(27°)

x° = 60°

__

(b) y° = CD/2 = (360° -BC -BD)/2 = (360° -114° -60°)/2

y° = 93°
