To prove that ∠BAC + ∠ACD = 90°, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the elements of the circle Let O be the center of the circle, and let BCD be the tangent to the circle at point C. ### Step 2: Establish that OC is perpendicular to BCD Since BCD is a tangent to the circle at point C, we know that the radius OC is perpendicular to the tangent line BCD at point C. Therefore, we can write: \[ \angle OCD = 90^\circ \] ...
