Secants ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ and ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ intersect in the exterior of a circle. ∠ measures 27.42° and the measure of DE is 73.18°. Determine the measure of BC.

Answer:
BC = 18.34°
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall: Exterior angle formed by 2 secants = ½(the difference of the measures of the intercepts arcs)
Thus:
m<BAC = ½(DE - BC)
27.42° = ½(73.18 - BC) => Substitution
Multiply both sides by 2
2*27.42 = 73.18 - BC
54.84 = 73.18 - BC
BC = 73.18 - 54.84
BC = 18.34°
