Question 12
In the adjoining figure, $CD$ is the diameter of a semicircle with center $O.$ Point $A$ lies on the extension of $DC$ past $C;$ point $E$ lies on the semicircle, and $B$ is the point of intersection (distinct from $E$) of line segment $AE$ with the semicircle. If length $AB$ equals length $OD,$ and the measure of $\angle EOD$ is $45^\circ,$ then the measure of $\angle BAO$ is
