Answer:

∠ABC=
70^0

Explanation:

In the attached diagram,

If Angle ADC =
35^0

Since the center of the circle is at B

∠ABC is the angle subtended at the center by arc AC.

∠ADC is the angle subtended at the circumference by arc AC.

Theorem

The angle subtended by an arc at the center of a circle is double the size of the angle subtended by the same arc at the circle's circumference.

Therefore by the theorem above

∠ABC = 2 X ∠ADC

=2 X 35

∠ABC=
70^0

A circle is centered on point BBB. Points AAA, CCC and DDD lie on its circumference-example-1
