Solution
55°
`angleBAD = angleBCD = 35°` (Angle in the same segment are equal.)
Also, since the chords ‘AD’ and ‘BC’ intersect perpendicularly we have,
`angleCPD = 90°`
Consider the triangle ΔCPD ,
`angleCPD + anglePDC + anglePCD = 180°`
`anglePDC = 180° - anglePCD - angleCPD`
= 180° - 35° - 90°
= 55°
`anglePDC = angleADC = 55°`
