Question

Find the measure of arc BD in the diagram.

  1. 180°    
  2. 80°    
  3. 90°    
  4. 100°    

hintHint:

by theorem If a diameter of a circle is perpendicular to a chord, then the diameter bisects the chord and its arc.

The correct answer is: 80°


    option 2 : 80 to the power of o space i s space t h e space c o r r e c t space a n s w e r

    From the diagram Diameter is stack C D with bar on top perpendicular to stack A B with bar on top.
    So, by theorem If a diameter of a circle is perpendicular to a chord, then the diameter bisects the chord and its arc.
    CD bisects AB,
    Therefore, m Error converting from MathML to accessible text.= m Error converting from MathML to accessible text.
    8x° = (90 – x)°
    9x° = 90°
    x = 10°
    So m Error converting from MathML to accessible text. = 8x° = 8 x 10° = 80°
