Step-by-step solution

2 steps

To find m(∠BAC)m(\angle BAC), we will use properties of angles in a circle and angles in a triangle.

  1. Identify the given angles and their properties.

    The points D, E, C, B lie on the circle, forming a cyclic quadrilateral BDEC.
    We are given:

    • m(∠ACD)=30∘m(\angle ACD) = 30^\circ. This is an inscribed angle with vertex C on the circle. It subtends arc AD.
    • m(∠BEC)=50∘m(\angle BEC) = 50^\circ. This is an inscribed angle with vertex E on the circle. It subtends arc BC.
  2. Use the property of exterior angles of a cyclic quadrilateral.

    For a cyclic quadrilateral, an exterior angle is equal to the interior opposite angle.
