Answer:
30°
Step-by-step explanation:
ABCD is cyclic quadrilateral ,
we know that ,
sum of opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral is 180°,
angle BAC + angle BDC = 180°
60 + angle BDC = 180°
angle BDC = 120°
=> In ∆BDC ,
BD = DC,
angle DBC = angle BCD( angles opposite to equal sides are equal )
=> In ∆ BDC ,
By angle sum property ,
angle DBC + angle BCD + angle BDC = 180°
(as angle DBC = angle BCD)
angle BCD + angle BCD + 120 ° = 180°
2 angle BCD = 180°-120°
2 angle BCD = 60°
angle BCD = 60°/2
angle BCD = 30°
