mAD= 233°

This can be determined by applying the property that the opposite angles of a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle are supplementary. So, we have:

mQU + mAD = 180°
55° + mAD = 180°
mAD = 180° - 55°
mAD = 125°

Then, the sum of the angles in triangle UAD is 180°.

mAU + mUAD + mAD = 180°
112° + 100° + mAD = 180°
212° + mAD = 180°
mAD = 180° - 212°
mAD = -32°

Since angle AD is an exterior angle of triangle QAD, we can determine the measure as:

mAD = mQ + mAU
mQ = mAD - mAU
mQ = 125° - 112°
mQ = 13°

Finally, we find:

mAD = mQ + mAU
mAD = 13° + 112°
mAD = 125°

Therefore, mAD = 233°.
