Answer:

∠EQD = 72°

Explanation:

From the circle it can be seen that the angle ∠EQD lies on the circumference of the circle. A circumference of a circle is known to be any point on the circle. Also we have central angle ∠ECD of 104°

In circle geometry, there is a theorem that states; Angle at the center of a circle is twice the angle at the circumference. Applying this theorem to the given question we can say, ∠ECD = 2∠EQD

Substituting the given value;

104° = 2∠EQD

Dividing both sides by 2

104/2 = 2∠EQD/2

∠EQD = 104/2

∠EQD = 72°
