Answers:

  • a = 68.5
  • b = 90
  • c = 43

================================================

Explanation:

a = 137/2 = 68.5

I'm using the inscribed angle theorem. This says that the inscribed angle is half that of the arc it cuts off.

-------------------

b = 90 since any inscribed angle of a semicircle is always 90 degrees (Thales Theorem). This is a useful way to create right angles if all you have are a straight edge and compass.

--------------------

Note how the arcs c and 137 form a 180 degree semicircle, which means,

c+137 = 180

c = 180-137

c = 43
