We are asked to find the measure of the angle CAB in the given figure.

Recall that the central angle is twice any inscribed angle subtended by the same arc.

For the given case, the central angle is given that is 96°

This means that the angle CAB must be half of the central angle.


m\angle CAB=(1)/(2)\cdot96\degree=48\degree

Therefore, the measure of the angle CAB is 48°
