Here's the solution to the problem:

We are given a circle with center O, and points A, B, C, D on the circumference. We are also given ∠OCB=30∘\angle OCB = 30^\circ.

Part a· 3 steps

Find ∠BOC\angle BOC

  1. Identify the type of triangle △BOC\triangle BOC.

    Since O is the center of the circle, OB and OC are radii. Therefore, OB=OCOB = OC.
    This means △BOC\triangle BOC is an isosceles triangle.

  2. Use properties of an isosceles triangle.

    In an isosceles triangle, the angles opposite the equal sides are equal. So, ∠OBC=∠OCB\angle OBC = \angle OCB.
    Given ∠OCB=30∘\angle OCB = 30^\circ, we have ∠OBC=30∘\angle OBC = 30^\circ.

  3. Calculate ∠BOC\angle BOC.

    The sum of angles in a triangle is 180∘180^\circ.

    ∠BOC+∠OBC+∠OCB=180∘\angle BOC + \angle OBC + \angle OCB = 180^\circ ∠BOC+30∘+30∘=180∘\angle BOC + 30^\circ + 30^\circ = 180^\circ ∠BOC+60∘=180∘\angle BOC + 60^\circ = 180^\circ ∠BOC=180∘−60∘=120∘\angle BOC = 180^\circ - 60^\circ = 120^\circ

    The value is: a) ∠BOC=120∘\boxed{\text{a) } \angle BOC = 120^\circ}

Part b

b) ∠BAC=60∘\text{b) } \angle BAC = 60^\circ

Find ∠BAC\angle BAC

  1. Relate the angle at the circumference to the angle at the center.

    ∠BAC\angle BAC is an angle at the circumference subtended by arc BC.
    ∠BOC\angle BOC is the central angle subtended by the same arc BC.
    The angle at the circumference is half the angle at the center.

    ∠BAC=12∠BOC\angle BAC = \frac{1}{2} \angle BOC
  2. Calculate ∠BAC\angle BAC.

    Using the value of ∠BOC\angle BOC from part (a):

    ∠BAC=12×120∘=60∘\angle BAC = \frac{1}{2} \times 120^\circ = 60^\circ

    The value is: b) ∠BAC=60∘\boxed{\text{b) } \angle BAC = 60^\circ}

Part c

c) ∠BDC=60∘\text{c) } \angle BDC = 60^\circ

Find ∠BDC\angle BDC

  1. Use the property of angles subtended by the same arc.

    ∠BDC\angle BDC is an angle at the circumference subtended by arc BC.
    ∠BAC\angle BAC is also an angle at the circumference subtended by the same arc BC.
    Angles subtended by the same arc at the circumference are equal.

    ∠BDC=∠BAC\angle BDC = \angle BAC
  2. Calculate ∠BDC\angle BDC.

    Using the value of ∠BAC\angle BAC from part (b):

    ∠BDC=60∘\angle BDC = 60^\circ

    The value is: c) ∠BDC=60∘\boxed{\text{c) } \angle BDC = 60^\circ}
