The measure of angle BAD = 70 degree

In the quadrilateral
$ABCD$, we have:


* $\angle CBD = 140^\circ$ (given)* $\angle BAD = x$ (what we need to find)* $\angle ADC = 90^\circ$ (since $AD$ is a diameter of the circle)* $\angle ABC = 90^\circ$ (since $BC$ is a diameter of the circle)

Therefore, we can write the equation:


$m\angle ABC + m\angle BAD + m\angle ADC + m\angle CBD = 360^\circ$

Substituting the known values, we get:


$90^\circ + x + 90^\circ + 140^\circ = 360^\circ$\\

Combining like terms, we get:


$2x + 220^\circ = 360^\circ$

Subtracting
$220^\circ$from both sides, we get:


$2x = 140^\circ$

Dividing both sides by
$2$, we get:


$x = 70^\circ$

Therefore, the measure of angle BAD = 70 degree

So the answer to the question is:
$m\angle BAD = 70^\circ$.
