I used trigonometry here I assumed a side length equal to 12 in AB then continuously used the sine law.
Relevant wiki: Sine Rule (Law of Sines)
Let A C and B D meet at O . Then ∠ A O B = ∠ C O D = 1 8 0 ∘ − 1 0 ∘ − 5 0 ∘ = 1 2 0 ∘ ; ∠ A O D = ∠ B O C = 2 3 6 0 ∘ − 2 4 0 ∘ = 6 0 ∘ ; ∠ O C B = 7 0 ∘ and ∠ A D O = 1 1 0 ∘ .
Let A B = 1 . By sine rule: A B O B = sin ∠ A O B sin ∠ O A B ⟹ O B = sin 1 2 0 ∘ sin 1 0 ∘ × A B = sin 6 0 ∘ sin 1 0 ∘ . By sine rule again: O C = sin ∠ O C B sin ∠ O B C × O B = sin 7 0 ∘ sin 5 0 ∘ × sin 6 0 ∘ sin 1 0 ∘ .
Similarly, A O = sin ∠ A O B sin ∠ A B O × A B = sin 6 0 ∘ sin 5 0 ∘ . And D O = sin ∠ A D O sin ∠ D A O × A O = sin 1 1 0 ∘ sin 1 0 ∘ × sin 6 0 ∘ sin 5 0 ∘ = sin 7 0 ∘ sin 1 0 ∘ × sin 6 0 ∘ sin 5 0 ∘ = O C .
Therefore, △ D O C is isosceles with ∠ C O D = 1 2 0 ∘ , then ∠ B D C = ∠ O D C = ∠ O C D = 2 1 8 0 ∘ − 1 2 0 ∘ = 3 0 ∘ .

Easy way:
Extend A D and B C to meet at E . Since B D and A C are angle bisectors, their intersection (call it I ) must be the incenter of Δ A B E . We also have ∠ A E B = 6 0 ∘ by angle sum of triangle, so ∠ C E I = 3 0 ∘ . Furthermore, ∠ A I B = 1 2 0 ∘ , so ∠ D I C = 1 2 0 ∘ . Thus, we have D I C E is cyclic, since the opposite angles sum to 1 8 0 ∘ . Therefore, ∠ B D C = ∠ I E C = 3 0 ∘ .
