The goal is to find angle CBD. Given BC, f, the triangle ABC is well defined for a given radius. We will create an equation for f in which the section BCD of the circle will be equal to the segments under the arcs. The sector ABD ,ay be calculated as function of f - angle CAD is related to angle BAC. Angle BAC = Angle BAD. Angels BAC + BAD + CAD = 2$\pi$. Does this detailed enough?
