Answer:
317
Step-by-step explanation: By that reasoning, the arc measure of minor arc
AD
⌢
A, D, start superscript, \frown, end superscript is the acute measure of
∠
A
P
D
∠APDangle, A, P, D. We need to find the measure of major arc
ACD
⌢
A, C, D, start superscript, \frown, end superscript.
From the diagram, we see that
∠

∠APDangle, A, P, D,
∠
D
P
C
∠DPCangle, D, P, C and
∠
C
P
B
∠CPBangle, C, P, B are supplementary. The measures of supplementary angles add up to

Subtract 84.
Divide by 16.
We can use the value of
