∠AED is formed inside a circle by two intersecting chords. If minor arc BD = 70 and minor arc CA = 180, what is the measure of ∠ AED?
A) 45°
B) 50°
C) 55°
D) 60°
we know that The measure of the interior angle is the half-summit of the arcs that comprise it and its opposite. so ∠ BED=(1/2)*[arc BD+arc CA]-------> (1/2)*[70+180]----> 125° ∠ BED=125° ∠ CEA=∠ BED-----> 125° ∠ AED=∠ CEB so 2*∠ AED=360-125*2------> 2*∠ AED=110------> ∠ AED=110/2----> 55°
