  1. Find the area of the region between the two curves.
    The acute angle between the two tangents at \(B\) is denoted by \(\alpha ^ { \circ }\), and the scales on the axes are the same.
  2. Find \(\alpha\).

  3. By letting the equation of a tangent be \(y = m x + 10\), find the two possible values of \(m\).
  4. Find the coordinates of \(B\) and \(C\).
    The point \(D\) is where the circle crosses the positive \(x\)-axis.
  5. Find angle \(B D C\) in degrees.
