Question Analysis

The main focus is using the property that opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary to find the value of . Then, use the inscribed - angle theorem to find the measure of arc .

 

Key Concept Explanation

1. Cyclic Quadrilateral Property: In a cyclic quadrilateral, the sum of opposite angles is . So, .

2. Inscribed - Angle Theorem: The measure of an inscribed angle is half of the measure of the arc it intercepts.

 

Step - by - Step Solution

1. Since is a cyclic quadrilateral, we have .

Substitute and into the equation:

.

2. Combine like terms:

,

.

3. Solve for :

Add 72 to both sides:
