1) Because
\angle ACB is a central angle,
m\angle ACB=72^(\circ).

Since
\angle ACB and
\angle BCD are supplementary, they form a linear pair, and thus
m\angle BCD=180^(\circ)-72^(\circ)=\boxed{108^(\circ)}

5) Tangents drawn from an external common point are congruent, so CR=CP=8 and RB=BQ=4. This means that QA=11, and so PA=11 as well. Adding CP+PA, we get AC=19.

6) By the inscribed angle theorem, angle QPR measures 36 degrees.
