We are given a cyclic quadrilateral $ABCD$ inscribed in a circle. We are given that $\angle DBC = 47^\circ$ and $\angle ADB = 28^\circ$. We need to find the measure of the angle between the tangent to the circle at point $D$ and the side $CD$. This angle is the same as the angle $\angle DAC$.

1. Problem Description

We are given a cyclic quadrilateral ABCDABCD inscribed in a circle. We are given that DBC=47\angle DBC = 47^\circ and ADB=28\angle ADB = 28^\circ. We need to find the measure of the angle between the tangent to the circle at point DD and the side CDCD. This angle is the same as the angle DAC\angle DAC.

2. Solution Steps

Since ABCDABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral, we know that DAC=DBC\angle DAC = \angle DBC.
Also, ACB=ADB\angle ACB = \angle ADB because they subtend the same arc ABAB.
Given DBC=47\angle DBC = 47^\circ, we know that DAC=47\angle DAC = 47^\circ.
Also given ADB=28\angle ADB = 28^\circ, we know ACB=28\angle ACB = 28^\circ.
The angle between the tangent at DD and the chord CDCD is equal to the angle in the alternate segment, which is DAC\angle DAC.
Therefore, the angle between the tangent at DD and CDCD is DAC\angle DAC, which is equal to DBC\angle DBC.

3. Final Answer

The measure of the angle between the tangent to the circle at point DD and the side CDCD is 4747^\circ.
