Since angles ∠ACB and ∠BCD are supplementary, their measures add up to 180 degrees. We can set up the equation based on the given measures:

\[ \angle ACB + \angle BCD = 180^\circ \]

Substituting the expressions for the angles,

\[ (x + 28) + (x + 48) = 180 \]

Now, combine like terms:

\[ 2x + 76 = 180 \]

Next, we can solve for \( x \):

\[ 2x = 180 - 76 \] \[ 2x = 104 \] \[ x = 52 \]

Now we need to find m∠BCD:

\[ m∠BCD = x + 48 \] \[ m∠BCD = 52 + 48 = 100 \]

Therefore, the measure of angle BCD is:

\[ \boxed{100^\circ} \]
