Answer

$m \widehat{BCD}=270^{\circ}$

Work Step by Step

We must know that the measure of a minor arc is equal to the measure of its corresponding central angle. In the given question, we can see that the related minor arc of major $\widehat{BCD}$ is $\widehat{BD}$ . This implies that $m\widehat{BCD}=360-m\widehat{BD}$. We have $m\widehat{BD}=m\angle BPD=90^{\circ}$ Thus, $m \widehat{BCD}=360^{\circ}-90^{\circ}=270^{\circ}$
