Answer:28°

Explanation:

Angle O is double the size of the angle at the circumference

76x2=152

tangents are right angles from the radius

90°

90+90+152=332

360-332=28°

Answer:

28°

Explanation:

You want the measure of exterior angle BCD formed by tangents BC and DC to circle O, where inscribed angle DFB is 76°.

Inscribed angle

The inscribed angle is half the measure of the arc it intercepts.

1/2(arc BD) = angle DFB

arc BD = 2(angle DFB) = 2(76°) = 152°

Exterior angle

An exterior angle is the supplement of the central angle between the radii to the tangent points. The central angle has the same measure as the arc it intercepts.

angle BCD = 180° -angle DOB

angle BCD = 180° -152° = 28°

The size of angle BCD is 28°.

If your teacher gets a different answer, you should have them show you their work.
