In the given circle with
\(m\widehat{BC} = 94^\circ\), applying the chord-tangent angle theorem yields
\(m\angle BCP = (94)/(2) = 47^\circ\), as the angle is half the intercepted arc.

In the circle,
\(m\widehat{BC} = 94^\circ\).

Theorem Application:

Apply the theorem that states, "An angle formed by a chord and a tangent that intersect on a circle is half the measure of the intercepted arc."

Interpreting the Theorem:

In this context, the chord is
\(\overline{BC}\), and the tangent is
\(\overline{CP}\). The angle formed at B by this chord and tangent is
\(m\angle BCP\).

Finding the Measure of
\(m\angle BCP\):

According to the theorem,
\(m\angle BCP\) is half the measure of the intercepted arc, which is
\(m\widehat{BC}\).

Calculation:


\[m\angle BCP = \frac{m\widehat{BC}}{2} = (94)/(2) = 47^\circ\]

Therefore, the measure of
\(m\angle BCP\) is
\(47^\circ\), half of
\(m\widehat{BC}\).

The complete question is:

In the circle,
\(m\widehat{BC}\)=94°. The diagram is not drawn to scale. What is
\(m\angle BCP\)?

In the circle, m BC = 94°. The diagram is not drawn to scale. What is BCP 188 94 47 86-example-1
