Answer:

72 degrees

Explanation:

We need to know the total circumference in order to determine the arc measure for ABC before we figure out AC

Circumference =2πr → =2π(10) → =20π

We know the length of ABC

so we set up a proportion to figure out its arc measure.

arc length/ circumference = arc measure/ degrees in a circle

16π/ 20π = arc measure/ 360 degrees

arc measure= 360 x 16π/ 20π =228 degrees

The arc measure of ABC is 228 degrees

If we combine the major arc ABC, and the minor arc AC we have the entire circle.

288 degrees +m AC= 360

m AC= 72 degrees

The measure of AC is 72 degrees
