When two chords intersect inside a circle, the measure of the angle formed is one half the sum of the measures of the arcs intercepted by the angle and its vertical angle. Then:


m\angle1=(1)/(2)(mAD+mBC)

Substitute mAD=20° and mBC=30°:


\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow m\angle1=(1)/(2)(20+30) \\ =(1)/(2)(50) \\ =25 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answer is:


25^(\circ)
