Wow!!!...This one's a little tough, huh??  Let's see if we can figure it out !!!

The angle at the top of the circle is a right angle because it subtends an arc of 180. And an inscribed angle measures1/2 of its intercepted arc. So the measure  of "d" = 90 -53 = 36.

And since d measures 36 degrees, it's intercepted arc = 72. But this is the same arc subtended by the central angle "c."  And a central angle = the measure of its intercepted arc. So "c" = 72.

And the central angle "b" is just supplementary to "c" so it = 180 - 72 = 108.

And "a" subtends the same arc as "b" = 108. But since it's an inscribed angle, it's measure is (1/2) of this = 54.

I think that's it.......

I can tell you that based on thales' theorem it must be the case that d=37.   I;ll continue to think a moment more about the other three.

c is twice as big as d.

2a + c = 180°

Ha!!!  I can do some basic geometry stuff......just don't ask me any probability questions.....!!!

Also...I'm afraid I'm not a millionaire...but...if you wanted to send me a  check.......
