Explanation:

The sum of two interior angles in a triangle is equal to an exterior angle that is supplementary to the third interior angle.

Based on the above-mentioned information, we can write the following equation:

40 + 2x + 20 = 3x + 10

  • Add like terms.

2x + 60 = 3x + 10

  • Transfer like terms to the same side of the equation.

60 - 10 = 3x - 2x

40 = x

Replace x with 40 to find the measure of ∠BCD:

3 × 40 + 10 = 130
