1. Problem Description

In the given circle with points A, B, C, and D on the circumference, we are given that m(BCD)=90m(\angle BCD) = 90^\circ, m(BAC)=49m(\angle BAC) = 49^\circ, and m(ADB)=61m(\angle ADB) = 61^\circ. We need to find:
a) m(ACB)m(\angle ACB)
b) m(ABC)m(\angle ABC)
c) m(CAD)m(\angle CAD)
d) m(BEC)m(\angle BEC)

2. Solution Steps

a) To find m(ACB)m(\angle ACB), we know that ADB\angle ADB and ACB\angle ACB subtend the same arc ABAB. Therefore, they are equal.
m(ACB)=m(ADB)=61m(\angle ACB) = m(\angle ADB) = 61^\circ
b) To find m(ABC)m(\angle ABC), we consider triangle ABCABC. The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180180^\circ. We have m(BAC)=49m(\angle BAC) = 49^\circ and m(ACB)=61m(\angle ACB) = 61^\circ. Therefore,
m(ABC)=180m(BAC)m(ACB)m(\angle ABC) = 180^\circ - m(\angle BAC) - m(\angle ACB)
m(ABC)=1804961=180110=70m(\angle ABC) = 180^\circ - 49^\circ - 61^\circ = 180^\circ - 110^\circ = 70^\circ
c) To find m(CAD)m(\angle CAD), we know that CBD\angle CBD and CAD\angle CAD subtend the same arc CDCD. First, we need to find m(CBD)m(\angle CBD).
Since BCD=90\angle BCD = 90^\circ, triangle BCDBCD is a right triangle. We can find m(CBD)m(\angle CBD) using the fact that the angles in triangle BCDBCD add up to 180180^\circ.
m(CBD)=180m(BCD)m(BDC)m(\angle CBD) = 180^\circ - m(\angle BCD) - m(\angle BDC)
We know that BAC\angle BAC and BDC\angle BDC subtend the same arc BCBC. Thus, m(BDC)=m(BAC)=49m(\angle BDC) = m(\angle BAC) = 49^\circ.
m(CBD)=1809049=180139=41m(\angle CBD) = 180^\circ - 90^\circ - 49^\circ = 180^\circ - 139^\circ = 41^\circ
Therefore, m(CAD)=m(CBD)=41m(\angle CAD) = m(\angle CBD) = 41^\circ
d) To find m(BEC)m(\angle BEC), we know that m(BEC)m(\angle BEC) is an exterior angle of triangle ABEABE. Therefore, it is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles.
m(BEC)=m(EAB)+m(EBA)m(\angle BEC) = m(\angle EAB) + m(\angle EBA)
m(EAB)=m(BAC)=49m(\angle EAB) = m(\angle BAC) = 49^\circ
m(EBA)=m(ABC)=70m(\angle EBA) = m(\angle ABC) = 70^\circ
m(BEC)=49+70=119m(\angle BEC) = 49^\circ + 70^\circ = 119^\circ

3. Final Answer

a) m(ACB)=61m(\angle ACB) = 61^\circ
b) m(ABC)=70m(\angle ABC) = 70^\circ
c) m(CAD)=41m(\angle CAD) = 41^\circ
d) m(BEC)=119m(\angle BEC) = 119^\circ
