Here are the calculations for the angles:

Part 6.1· 1 step

Calculate BC^A\text{B}\hat{\text{C}}\text{A}

  1. Identify equal chords and their subtended angles.

    We are given that AB=DC\text{AB} = \text{DC}. Chords of equal length subtend equal angles at the circumference.
    The angle subtended by chord DC at the circumference is DE^C=26∘\text{D}\hat{\text{E}}\text{C} = 26^\circ.
    The angle subtended by chord AB at the circumference is BC^A\text{B}\hat{\text{C}}\text{A}.
    Therefore, these angles are equal.

    BC^A=DE^C\text{B}\hat{\text{C}}\text{A} = \text{D}\hat{\text{E}}\text{C} BC^A=26∘\text{B}\hat{\text{C}}\text{A} = 26^\circ

    The size of BC^A\text{B}\hat{\text{C}}\text{A} is 26∘\boxed{\text{26}^\circ}.

Part 6.2

53∘\text{53}^\circ

Calculate A^1\hat{\text{A}}_1

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

    A^1\hat{\text{A}}_1 is the angle CA^B\text{C}\hat{\text{A}}\text{B}. This is an angle subtended by arc BC at the circumference.
    The angle subtended by the same arc BC at the center is BO^C\text{B}\hat{\text{O}}\text{C}.
    We are given BO^C=106∘\text{B}\hat{\text{O}}\text{C} = 106^\circ.
    The angle at the center is twice the angle at the circumference subtended by the same arc.

    A^1=12×BO^C\hat{\text{A}}_1 = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{B}\hat{\text{O}}\text{C}
  2. Substitute the given value and calculate.

    A^1=12×106∘\hat{\text{A}}_1 = \frac{1}{2} \times 106^\circ A^1=53∘\hat{\text{A}}_1 = 53^\circ

    The size of A^1\hat{\text{A}}_1 is 53∘\boxed{\text{53}^\circ}.

Part 6.3

64∘\text{64}^\circ

Calculate OC^D\text{O}\hat{\text{C}}\text{D}

  1. Find the angle at the center subtended by arc DC.

    The angle subtended by arc DC at the circumference is DE^C=26∘\text{D}\hat{\text{E}}\text{C} = 26^\circ.
    The angle at the center DO^C\text{D}\hat{\text{O}}\text{C} is twice the angle at the circumference.

    DO^C=2×DE^C\text{D}\hat{\text{O}}\text{C} = 2 \times \text{D}\hat{\text{E}}\text{C} DO^C=2×26∘\text{D}\hat{\text{O}}\text{C} = 2 \times 26^\circ DO^C=52∘\text{D}\hat{\text{O}}\text{C} = 52^\circ
  2. Use properties of an isosceles triangle.

    Consider △OCD\triangle \text{OCD}. OC\text{OC} and OD\text{OD} are both radii of the circle, so OC=OD\text{OC} = \text{OD}.
    Therefore, △OCD\triangle \text{OCD} is an isosceles triangle, and its base angles are equal: OC^D=OD^C\text{O}\hat{\text{C}}\text{D} = \text{O}\hat{\text{D}}\text{C}.
    The sum of angles in a triangle is 180∘180^\circ.

    OC^D+OD^C+DO^C=180∘\text{O}\hat{\text{C}}\text{D} + \text{O}\hat{\text{D}}\text{C} + \text{D}\hat{\text{O}}\text{C} = 180^\circ
  3. Substitute known values and solve for OC^D\text{O}\hat{\text{C}}\text{D}.

    OC^D+OC^D+52∘=180∘\text{O}\hat{\text{C}}\text{D} + \text{O}\hat{\text{C}}\text{D} + 52^\circ = 180^\circ 2×OC^D=180∘−52∘2 \times \text{O}\hat{\text{C}}\text{D} = 180^\circ - 52^\circ 2×OC^D=128∘2 \times \text{O}\hat{\text{C}}\text{D} = 128^\circ OC^D=128∘2\text{O}\hat{\text{C}}\text{D} = \frac{128^\circ}{2} OC^D=64∘\text{O}\hat{\text{C}}\text{D} = 64^\circ

    The size of OC^D\text{O}\hat{\text{C}}\text{D} is 64∘\boxed{\text{64}^\circ}.
