if arc AB= 70, how many degrees are in arc AD

notice, the chord BD is really a diametrical chord, namely a diameter, so it cuts the circle into two equal halves, each with 180°.
so the arcBAD = 180°, and arcBAD = arcBA + arcAD, we know arcAB = 70, so arcAD must be the remaining from 180 - 70 = 110.
