Answer:

m∠CDE = 60°

Explanation:

Given that the arc at the center = 2 times the arc at the circumference, we have;

Angle at the center = arc CE = 120°

Whereby the angle at the circumference is given as m∠CDE and it is opposite the circle arc CE

We note that m∠CDE is the acute angle between chord DC and DE

Therefore, we have;

Angle at the center = 120° = 2 times the arc at the circumference = 2 × m∠CDE

120° = 2 × m∠CDE

m∠CDE = 120/2 = 60°

Therefore the angle of m∠CDE is equal to 60°.
