1. Problem Description

We are given a circle with diameter ADAD. The measure of arc ACAC is 132132^\circ. We need to find the measure of angle OCDOCD and the measure of arc CDCD.

2. Solution Steps

a) Finding m(OCD)m(\angle OCD):
Since ADAD is a diameter, m(arc ACD)=180m(\text{arc } ACD) = 180^\circ.
We are given m(arc AC)=132m(\text{arc } AC) = 132^\circ.
Then, m(arc CD)=m(arc AD)m(arc AC)=180132=48m(\text{arc } CD) = m(\text{arc } AD) - m(\text{arc } AC) = 180^\circ - 132^\circ = 48^\circ.
Since OCOC and ODOD are radii of the circle, OC=ODOC = OD. Therefore, triangle OCDOCD is an isosceles triangle with OC=ODOC = OD.
Thus, OCD=ODC\angle OCD = \angle ODC.
The measure of the central angle COD\angle COD is equal to the measure of the arc CDCD, so m(COD)=48m(\angle COD) = 48^\circ.
The sum of the angles in triangle OCDOCD is 180180^\circ.
So, m(OCD)+m(ODC)+m(COD)=180m(\angle OCD) + m(\angle ODC) + m(\angle COD) = 180^\circ.
Since m(OCD)=m(ODC)m(\angle OCD) = m(\angle ODC), we have 2m(OCD)+48=1802 \cdot m(\angle OCD) + 48^\circ = 180^\circ.
2m(OCD)=18048=1322 \cdot m(\angle OCD) = 180^\circ - 48^\circ = 132^\circ.
m(OCD)=1322=66m(\angle OCD) = \frac{132^\circ}{2} = 66^\circ.
b) Finding m(arc CD)m(\text{arc } CD):
As calculated in part (a), m(arc CD)=180132=48m(\text{arc } CD) = 180^\circ - 132^\circ = 48^\circ.

3. Final Answer

a) m(OCD)=66m(\angle OCD) = 66^\circ
b) m(arc CD)=48m(\text{arc } CD) = 48^\circ
