To find the measure of angle BCD, we can use the fact that the sum of all three angles is 180°.
We are given that angle ACB has a measure of (x+15)°, angle BCD has a measure of (x+48)°, and angle DCE has a measure of 13°.
So the equation for the sum of the three angles is:
(x+15) + (x+48) + 13 = 180
Simplifying the equation, we have:
2x + 76 = 180
Now, solving for x:
2x = 180 - 76
2x = 104
x = 52
Therefore, angle BCD has a measure of (x+48)° = 52 + 48 = 100°.
So the correct answer is 100°.

So the correct answer is 100°.
