Given:

AB = AC and ∠BAC = 48°

Concept used:

The sum of the opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral = 180°

Calculation:

∠ABC = ∠ACB  [∵ AB = AC]

∠BAC + ∠ABC + ∠ACB = 180°

So, ∠ABC = ∠ACB = (180° - 48°)/2 = 132°/2 = 66°

Also, ∠ADC + ∠ABC = 180°

⇒ ∠ADC + 66° = 180°

⇒ ∠ADC = 180° - 66° = 114°

∴ The measure of ∠ADC is 114°
