angleBCA=45^@BCA=45

Explanation:

let angleABD=x, => angleBOA=2xABD=x,BOA=2x,
as OA=OB, => angleOAB=angleOBA=xOA=OB,OAB=OBA=x,
consider DeltaOAB, 4x=180, => x=45^@,
recall that the angle at the center of a circle is twice the angle on the circumference subtended by the same arc,
and as angleBOA and angleBCA subtend the same arc AB,
=> angleBCA=1/2angleBOA=x=45^@
