Quadrilateral $$ABCD$$ is inscribed into a circle. What is the value of $$\angle BAD$$ ?

1. $$AC = CD$$
2. $$\angle ADC = 70^o$$

* Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but Statement (2) ALONE is not sufficient
* Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but Statement (1) ALONE is not sufficient
* BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient
* EACH statement ALONE is sufficient
* Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient

Does that symbol signify arch?

E. From the two statements, we only know of A, C and D. Nothing is known for B. Hence, angle BAD can be anything.

P.S. I assumed the symbol represents angle.

I'd go for E as well, but let's tackle the problem in more depth.

A quadrilateral can be inscribed into a circle only when the sum of its opposite angles is 180.
So, A+C=B+D=180 => A=180-C
We need to know C in order to find the value of A.

1) AC=CD: From this we know the ACD is an isosceles triangle, then the angles CDA and DAC are equal, but we do not have any information about C => INSUFFICIENT.

2) ADC=70: this means that angle B=110. Again, we don't know the value of C => INSUFFICIENT.

If we combine stmts 1&2, we get that angle DCA=40 (since it's DCA=180-70-70). But once again, this isn't enough to understand the value of the complete angle in C => E, stmts 1&2 together are not sufficient.
