Answer:

We know that in a triangle, the sum of the angles is 180 degrees.

Therefore, m∠bcd + m∠bcw + m∠wcd = 180

Given, m∠wcd = 58° and m∠bcw = 72°

We can substitute these values in the equation above to find the measure of the third angle:

m∠bcd + 72 + 58 = 180

m∠bcd = 180 - 130 = 50 degrees

Therefore, the measure of angle BCD is 50 degrees.
