288°
108°
+2446 1) A tangent segment, by definition, is an exterior segment of a circle that intersects a circle at one and only one point (known as the point of tangency).
\(\overline{OH}\) is in the interior region of a circle, so it cannot be a tangent segment. Radii are never tangent segments.
\(\overline{SD}\) fits the definition of a tangent segment and is, therefore, a tangent segment.
\(\overline{OC}\) is in the interior region of a circle, so it cannot be a tangent segment.
\(\overline{RC}\) is in the interior region of a circle, so it cannot be a tangent segment.
2) \(m\angle ADB=\frac{1}{2}m\widehat{AB}\) by the Inscribed Angle Theorem. This means that \(m\widehat{AB}=72^{\circ}\). Wait! We are not done, though. The question asks for the measure of the major arc, the one that has a measure of more than 180°. I know this because there are 3 letters in the arc's name.
Therefore, \(m\widehat{ADB}=360-72=288^{\circ}\)
