The diagram shows the circle with equation \(x^2 + y^2 = 20\). Tangents touching the circle at points \(B\) and \(C\) pass through the point \(A (0, 10)\).
(a) By letting the equation of a tangent be \(y = mx + 10\), find the two possible values of \(m\).
(b) Find the coordinates of \(B\) and \(C\).
The point \(D\) is where the circle crosses the positive \(x\)-axis.
(c) Find angle \(BDC\) in degrees.
