Answer:


\implies m\angle DAC=30\degree.

Explanation:

DC meets the circle at right angles because it is a tangent.

Triangle COD is a right triangle, with OD being the hypotenuse.


\cos m\angle COD=(OC)/(OD).

But
OC=(1)/(2)OD,


\implies \cos m\angle COD=((1)/(2)OD)/(OD).


\implies \cos m\angle COD=(1)/(2).


\implies m\angle COD=\cos ^(-1)((1)/(2)).


\implies m\angle COD=60\degree.

But
m\angle DAC=(1)/(2) m\angle COD.


\implies m\angle DAC=(1)/(2)(60\degree).


\implies m\angle DAC=30\degree.
