### Example 2: Finding Values for Circle OP

Given:

- \( m\overset{\frown}{AC} = (4x)^\circ \)
- \( m\overset{\frown}{BC} = (x + 78)^\circ \)

Find the following values:

A) \( m\overset{\frown}{AC} = \)

B) \( m\overset{\frown}{DC} = \)

C) \( m\overset{\frown}{AB} = \)

D) \( m\angle DPA = \)

### Diagram Explanation

The accompanying diagram depicts a circle with center \( P \). Points \( A \), \( B \), \( C \), and \( D \) are on the circumference. The lines \( AP \), \( BP \), and \( DP \) are radii of the circle, and \( DC \) is a chord perpendicular to the diameter at point \( P \).

### Rule 2

"If a diameter (or radius) is perpendicular to a chord, then it bisects the chord and the arc."

This information is helpful for solving the problem as it provides a geometric property that can simplify calculations.

Please use this information as a guide for solving the equations and understanding the geometric properties involved.
