Two tangents to a circle are drawn from a point $A$.  The points of contact $B$ and $C$ divide the circle into arcs with lengths in the ratio $2 : 3$.  What is the degree measure of $\angle{BAC}$?
$\textbf{(A)}\ 24 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 30 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 36 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 48 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 60$
In order to solve this problem, use of the tangent-tangent intersection theorem (Angle of intersection between two tangents dividing a circle into arc length A and arc length B = 1/2 (Arc A° - Arc B°).
In order to utilize this theorem, the degree measures of the arcs must be found.  First, set A (Arc length A) equal to 3d, and B (Arc length B) equal to 2d.  
Setting 3d+2d = 360° will find d = 72°, and so therefore Arc length A in degrees will equal 216° and arc length B will equal 144°.
Finally, simply plug the two arc lengths into the tangent-tangent intersection theorem, and the answer:
1/2 (216°-144°) = 1/2 (72°) $=\boxed{36 \textbf{(C)}}.$
