Let the center of the circle be O O . Given that arc B C BC and arc D A DA are 3 0 30^\circ and 8 0 80^\circ respectively, this means that the central angles, B O C = 3 0 \angle BOC = 30^\circ and D O A = 8 0 \angle DOA = 80^\circ . Since the angle at the circumference is half that of the central angle extended by the same arc, B A C = 1 5 \angle BAC = 15^\circ and D C A = 4 0 \angle DCA = 40^\circ . And since P + B A C = D C A \angle P + \angle BAC = \angle DCA , P = D C A B A C = 4 0 1 5 = 2 5 \implies \angle P = \angle DCA - \angle BAC = 40^\circ - 15^\circ = \boxed{25^\circ} .

P = A P D = 180 ° ( 30 ° + 70 ° + 55 ° ) = 25 ° P=\angle {APD}=180\degree-(30\degree+70\degree+55\degree)=\boxed {25\degree} .
