To find the measure of angle \( \angle D \) using the information given about the arcs and angles, we need to understand the relationships between them.
Here’s the information provided:
- The measure of \( \angle B = 86^\circ \)
- The measure of arc \( BC = 64^\circ \)
- The measure of arc \( CD = 109^\circ \)
If points \( B, C, D \) are on the same circle and angle \( B \) is an inscribed angle that subtends arc \( BC \), then the relationship between the angle and the arc is that the measure of the angle is half the measure of the arc.
Thus:
\[
\angle B = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{arc } BC
\]
\[
86^\circ = \frac{1}{2} \times 64^\circ
\]
This means \( \angle B \) is not directly used here for finding \( \angle D \).
Next, we can consider that the arc \( CD \) will also be involved when determining \( \angle D \). Since \( \angle D \) could be influenced by the arcs surrounding it, we look for other relationships.
If \( \angle D \) is another angle that subtends arc \( BC \), use the fact that an angle subtended by an arc at the circumference is half of the arc’s measure.
If \( D \) is located such that arcs \( BC \) and \( CD \) are directly involved, we might need to find combined arcs.
The total arc from \( B \) to \( D \) would be the sum of arcs \( BC \) and \( CD \):
\[
\text{arc } BD = \text{arc } BC + \text{arc } CD = 64^\circ + 109^\circ = 173^\circ
\]
Thus:
\[
\angle D = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{arc } BD
\]
\[
\angle D = \frac{1}{2} \times 173^\circ = 86.5^\circ
\]
So the measure of \( \angle D \) would be \( 86.5^\circ \). However, this can change based on specific relationships, like if the angles and arcs provided indicate another connection.
Double-check the relationships based on your geometric figure or more context to ascertain if \( D \) should represent something else or encapsulate other elements.
