Answer

Consider △ABC and △ADC,

∠ABC = ∠ADC = 40° (∵ angles in same segment are equal.)

In △ADC,

∠DCA = 90° (∵ angle in semicircle is 90°.)

We know that sum of angles of a triangle is 180°.

⇒ ∠DAC + ∠ADC + ∠DCA = 180°.
⇒ ∠DAC + 40° + 90° = 180°
⇒ ∠DAC + 130° = 180°
⇒ ∠DAC = 180° - 130°
⇒ ∠DAC = 50°.

Hence, the value of ∠DAC = 50°.
