We are given that a snowboarding rail is an arc of a circle in which BD is part of the diameter. Let's take a look at the given diagram. Notice that AC is a chord of the circle.
a %=a/100
a/c* b = a* b/c
Calculate quotient
The measure of the arc ABC is 115.2^(∘). Now let's recall that if a diameter of a circle is perpendicular to a chord, then it bisects the chord and its arc. This means that mAB will be half of mABC. mAB=1/2*115.2^(∘)=57.6^(∘) The measure of arc AB is 57.6^(∘).
