1. **Problem Statement:**
(a) Given a circle with arcs $\overset{\frown}{AB} = 170^\circ$ and $\overset{\frown}{AC} = 66^\circ$, find the measure of angle $\angle ADC$ formed by a tangent and a secant.
(b) Given a circle with $\angle AEB = 46^\circ$ and arc $\overset{\frown}{AB} = 46^\circ$, find the measure of arc $\overset{\frown}{CD}$.
2. **Formulas and Rules:**
- For (a), the angle formed by a tangent and a secant intersecting outside the circle is half the difference of the intercepted arcs:
$$\angle ADC = \frac{1}{2} \left| m\overset{\frown}{AB} - m\overset{\frown}{AC} \right|$$
- For (b), the angle formed by two chords intersecting inside the circle is half the sum of the measures of the arcs intercepted by the angle and its vertical angle:
$$\angle AEB = \frac{1}{2} (m\overset{\frown}{AB} + m\overset{\frown}{CD})$$
3. **Calculations:**
(a) Calculate $\angle ADC$:
$$\angle ADC = \frac{1}{2} |170 - 66| = \frac{1}{2} \times 104 = 52^\circ$$
(b) Calculate $\overset{\frown}{CD}$:
Start with the formula:
$$46 = \frac{1}{2} (46 + m\overset{\frown}{CD})$$
Multiply both sides by 2:
$$92 = 46 + m\overset{\frown}{CD}$$
Subtract 46 from both sides:
$$m\overset{\frown}{CD} = 92 - 46 = 46^\circ$$
4. **Final Answers:**
- (a) $m\angle ADC = 52^\circ$
- (b) $m\overset{\frown}{CD} = 46^\circ$
