The measure of angle BCD is 160°

The measure of ∠BCD can be calculated thus ;

3x + 10 = 40 + 2x + 20 (Measure of exterior angle is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles)

3x + 10 = 60 + 2x

3x - 2x = 60 - 10

x = 50

BCD = 3x + 10

BCD = 3(50) + 10

BCD = 150 + 10

BCD = 160

Therefore, the measure of BCD is 160°
