Here we are given a geometrical shape with the following inner and an arc angle as follows:


The property to note here is from geometric properties of a circle.<p></p><p><strong>Property: The inner angle is always the mean of corresponding verticaly opposite arc angles.</strong></p><p>We can express the above property in lieu to the geometry question at hand. We see that the two arc angles:</p><p></p>[tex]\text{Arc CD = 55 degrees , Arc BG = ?}

Ther inner vertically opposite angle are:


<\text{ DFC < }BFG\text{= 40 degrees }

The property can be expressed mathematically as follows:


<\text{ DFC = }(1)/(2)\cdot\text{ ( Arc CD + Arc BG )}

Next plug in the respective values of angles and evaluate for the arc angle BG as follows:


\begin{gathered} 40\text{ = }(1)/(2)\cdot\text{ ( 55 + Arc BG )} \\ 80\text{ = 55 + Arc BG } \\ \text{\textcolor{#FF7968}{Arc BG = 25 degrees}} \end{gathered}

Therefore the correct option is:


\textcolor{#FF7968}{25}\text{\textcolor{#FF7968}{ degrees}}
