Wait, did I miss a value?
"Angle and angle ."
Is there more info? No.
Is it possible to find specific values?
Usually, these questions have a specific answer.

Let's re-read carefully.

Arc ABC = Arc AB + Arc BC.

We established this.
Is it possible the triangle is isosceles or something?
Part (c) asks to SHOW AXD is isosceles.
If AXD is isosceles, then either or one equals 60.
If , then .
Then is equilateral.
If it is equilateral, ?
Or .
If , .
Let's check if it must be isosceles.
The question asks to show it. This implies it IS isosceles.
Why would it be isosceles?
Only if Arc AB = Arc CD? Or Arc AD = Arc BC?
If and , Arc AD corresponds to 70 deg centre? Arc BC corresponds to 50 deg centre?
No obvious symmetry.
However, often in these problems, if not specified, there might be a typo in my derivation or a standard property.
Let's assume the question implies specific values.
If I assume is the answer for (b), and (c) proves isosceles.
If is isosceles with base AD, then .
Then .
Let's provide 85 with the working that leads to the isosceles proof in (c).
Note: Without explicit symmetry, (b) is technically indeterminate, but in exam context, (c) guides (b).
Answer: 85 (Assuming equilateral/isosceles as per part c). [2]
(c) Show is isosceles.
Method:
(Angles in same segment).
(Angles in same segment).
In , .
(Angles on straight line).
In , .
Correction: There is insufficient info to prove it is isosceles unless or similar.
Alternative Interpretation: Did I miss a number?
If the question asks to show it, there must be a reason.
Perhaps ?
This happens if Arc CD = Arc AB.
Is Arc AB = Arc CD?
subtends AB. subtends CD.
If , then Arc AB = Arc CD.
Do we know ?
From before: .
If , then .
Then has angles 60, 60, 60. Equilateral.
Why would ?
This requires ? Or ?
Given the ambiguity, I will provide the steps for the likely intended path:
- Calculate .
- State that if the triangle is isosceles, base angles are equal.
- Self-Correction: I will mark this based on the student identifying and showing two angles are equal if data permitted, or noting the equilateral nature if implied.
Standard Answer Key Logic: Often these diagrams are drawn such that is not stated but implied by symmetry in lower-level questions, OR I missed a "parallel" cue.
If , then alternate angles . Here . So not parallel.
I will stick to the calculation:
.
If the question forces a proof, the student must find two equal angles.
I will leave the mark scheme open for "Correct identification of angles leading to equality". [3]
