1. Problem Description

We are given a circle with center at the dot. We are given mBDC=38m\angle BDC = 38^\circ, and the mBCD=70m\angle BCD = 70^\circ. We want to find the measure of the arc BCBC.

2. Solution Steps

The measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of its intercepted arc.
In this case, BDC\angle BDC is an inscribed angle that intercepts arc BCBC. Therefore, the measure of arc BCBC is twice the measure of BDC\angle BDC.
m(arc BC)=2mBDCm(\text{arc }BC) = 2 \cdot m\angle BDC
m(arc BC)=238m(\text{arc }BC) = 2 \cdot 38^\circ
m(arc BC)=76m(\text{arc }BC) = 76^\circ
