How do I solve these with steps

$\angle{A},\angle{B},\angle{C},\angle{D}$ are inscribed angles, meaning that their measures are equal to half the measures of their intercepted arcs.

For example,

$\newline\angle{A}=\frac{1}{2}\cdot\overset{\huge\frown}{BD}$

#

so basically, opposite angles in an inscribed quadrilateral of a circle are supplementary

#

so angle D is 115 degrees

#

Also, inscribed angle measures are half of their intercepted arc measures

#

so if arc BC is 65 degrees and arc CD is 149 degrees, we add them up

#

and get 214 degrees

#

half that, and we have 107 degrees for angle A

#

angle C is supplementary to A, so it is 73 degrees

#

For the second one, we know that if a radius is perpendicular to a chord, then it bisects the chord into congruent segments

#

so the right triangle has measures x, 10.9, and 12.6

#

we can use pythagorean theorem to find x

#

(12.6)^2-(10.9)^2=x^2, or 39.95

#

square root both sides, and you get x is about 6.3206012372241930573281107524048
