### Question 2

**Diagram Interpretation and Angle Calculation**

9. In the diagram below of circle O, PAC and PBD are secants. If arc CD = 70 and arc AB = 20, what is the degree measure of ∠ P?

![Circle Geometry Diagram]

- The diagram consists of a circle, labeled as circle O.
- Two secants, PAC and PBD, intersect at point P outside the circle. 
- The arcs CD and AB are connected by these secants. Arc CD = 70 degrees and Arc AB = 20 degrees.
- We are required to find the degree measure of ∠P.

**Choices:**
○  25  
○  35  
●  45  
○  50

**Explanation:**

To find the measure of ∠P, we use the formula for the angle formed by two secants intersecting outside a circle:

\[ \text{m}∠P = \frac{1}{2} (\text{m(Arc CD)} - \text{m(Arc AB)}) \]

\[ \text{m}∠P = \frac{1}{2} (70 - 20) \]

\[ \text{m}∠P = \frac{1}{2} (50) \]

\[ \text{m}∠P = 25 \]

Therefore, the degree measure of ∠P is 25 degrees.
