### Problem

Find the measure of ∠1.

### Diagram Description

1. The diagram shows a circle with points labeled A, B, C, and D on the circumference.
2. Line segments form a quadrilateral inside the circle with the following points:
   - A chord from A to D.
   - A chord from B to C that intersects AD.
3. The given angle, ∠BCD, measures 50°.
4. Angle ∠1 is located at point B, inside the circle, separated from the given angle by the intersection of the chords.

### Question

- What is the measure of ∠1?

### Solution Method

Use the theorem for angles formed between two chords intersecting inside a circle. The measure of an angle formed by two intersecting chords is half the sum of the measures of the arcs intercepted by the angle and its vertical angle.

∠1 = 1/2(Arc AC + Arc BD) 

(The diagram appears simplified here; any additional information would be required for complete calculation.)
