The value of
is 50 degrees, which corresponds to option D.
The diagram shows a circle circumscribed around quadrilateral ABCD, with an angle at C that is 130 degrees. Assuming that ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral (a quadrilateral whose vertices all lie on the circumference of a circle), then the opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral sum up to 180 degrees due to the Inscribed Angle Theorem. This theorem states that the opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary.
Given that angle
is 130 degrees, we can find the measure of angle
by the following relationship for a cyclic quadrilateral:
![\[ \angle A + \angle C = 180^\circ \]](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/college/if9ev4e6bn7d5wfkz2gm8hgpnfd2tttpzp.png)
Plugging in the value for
, we get:
![\[ \angle A + 130^\circ = 180^\circ \]](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/college/ldnymbhjhp6qxxt4dar7i6p8wg22x98ify.png)
Now, let's calculate the value of angle
:
![\[ \angle A = 180^\circ - 130^\circ \]](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/college/9z4gfv8zlnzzv0rhabaqb25uiy9ylbsqfq.png)
![\[ \angle A = 50^\circ \]](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/college/bnv4u3qmkz4a8icg9293ehv2apwh17ix8a.png)
Therefore, The answer is 50 degrees.
