The quadrilateral ABCD is inscribed in a circle. The ABD angle is 78 °, the CAD angle is 40 °. Find the angle ABC.

The ABD angle is based on the AD arc, the degree measure of which is equal to two values of the ABD angle.

Arc AD = 78 * 2 = 156.

The CAD angle is based on the CD arc, the degree measure of which is equal to two values of the CAD angle.

Arc CD = 40 * 2 = 800.

The angle ABC is based on the arc AC, the degree measure of which is equal to the sum of the arcs AD and CD.

Arc AC = 156 + 80 = 236.

Then the angle ABC is equal to half of the degree measure of the arc AC.

Angle ABC = 236/2 = 118.

Answer: Angle ABC is 118.
