1. Problem Description

The problem states that circle has center DD. The measure of angle BACBAC is 3838^\circ. We need to find the measure of arc BCBC and the measure of angle BDCBDC.

2. Solution Steps

(a) We are given that mBAC=38m\angle BAC = 38^\circ. Angle BACBAC is an inscribed angle intercepting arc BCBC. The measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of its intercepted arc.
Therefore, mBAC=12mBCm\angle BAC = \frac{1}{2} m\stackrel{\frown}{BC}.
Multiplying both sides by 2, we have mBC=2mBACm\stackrel{\frown}{BC} = 2 \cdot m\angle BAC.
Substituting mBAC=38m\angle BAC = 38^\circ, we get mBC=238=76m\stackrel{\frown}{BC} = 2 \cdot 38^\circ = 76^\circ.
(b) We are given that mBAC=38m\angle BAC = 38^\circ. Since DD is the center of the circle, BDC\angle BDC is a central angle intercepting arc BCBC. The measure of a central angle is equal to the measure of its intercepted arc.
Therefore, mBDC=mBCm\angle BDC = m\stackrel{\frown}{BC}.
From part (a), we found that mBC=76m\stackrel{\frown}{BC} = 76^\circ.
Thus, mBDC=76m\angle BDC = 76^\circ.

3. Final Answer

(a) mBC=76m\stackrel{\frown}{BC} = 76^\circ
(b) mBDC=76m\angle BDC = 76^\circ
