and m∠BCD=(6x+50)°
. What is the measure of ∠ACB

To find the measure of angle \( m∠ACB \), we know that supplementary angles add up to \( 180^\circ \). In this case, we have:

\[ m∠ACB + m∠BCD = 180^\circ \]

Substituting the expressions for the angles:

\[ 4x + (6x + 50) = 180 \]

Now, combine like terms:

\[ 4x + 6x + 50 = 180 \] \[ 10x + 50 = 180 \]

Next, subtract \( 50 \) from both sides:

\[ 10x = 130 \]

Now, divide by \( 10 \):

\[ x = 13 \]

Now we can find \( m∠ACB \):

\[ m∠ACB = 4x = 4(13) = 52^\circ \]

Thus, the measure of \( ∠ACB \) is

\[ \boxed{52^\circ} \]
