let AB be diameter of circle and AC be the chord. Let a tangent is drawn from C to meet AB produced at D.If BAC=30,Prove that BC= BD
SOLUTION
ACB= 90
ABC=60
CBD=120
After that I am confused

Remember the theorem about the angle between a tangent and a cord at the tangency point, so you get
$$\angle BCD=\angle CAB=30^\circ$$
Using now that $\;\angle CBD=120^\circ\;$, deduce $\;\Delta BCD\;$ is isosceles and you're done.
