1. Problem Description

We are asked to find the measure of angle ABCABC in a circle, given that the measure of arc ACAC is 55 degrees.

2. Solution Steps

The measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of its intercepted arc. In this case, angle ABCABC is an inscribed angle that intercepts arc ACAC. Therefore, the measure of angle ABCABC is half the measure of arc ACAC.
We are given that mAC=55m\stackrel{\frown}{AC} = 55^{\circ}.
We use the inscribed angle theorem, which states:
mABC=12mACm\angle ABC = \frac{1}{2} m\stackrel{\frown}{AC}
mABC=12(55)m\angle ABC = \frac{1}{2} (55^{\circ})
mABC=27.5m\angle ABC = 27.5^{\circ}

3. Final Answer

27.5
