Givens

[tex]m \angle BAC=63\°[/tex]

[tex]m(BE)=96\°[/tex]

[tex]DE[/tex] is secant.

[tex]DG[/tex] is tangent.

(A)

Remember that the arc subtended by a central angle is equal to it. That means

[tex]m(BC)=m\angle BAC = 63\°[/tex]

(B)

Now, by sum of arcs, we know

[tex]m(EBC)=m(EB)+m(BC)=96\° +63\°=159\°[/tex]

(C)

By definition, the total arc of a circle is 360°, so

[tex]m(EFC)=360\°-m(EBC)=360\° - 159\°=201\°[/tex]

(D)

We know that the external angle formed by a secant and a tanget is one half of the difference between the intercepted arcs, so

[tex]\angle D=\frac{1}{2}(m(EFC)-m(BC))=\frac{1}{2} (201\° - 63\°)=\frac{1}{2} (138\°)=69\°[/tex]

So, the angle D is 69°.
