If AC = 2 and DC = 1, then we can conclude that AD = 1
Add this information to the diagram...
If AD = 1 and BD = 1, then ∆ABD is an ISOSCELES triangle, which means ∠DAB = ∠ABD are EQUAL...
If we let x = BOTH ∠DAB and ∠ABD, then we can use the fact that angles in a triangle add to 180º
We can write: x + x + 120 = 180
Simplify: 2x + 120 = 180
Solve: x = 30
In other words, ∠ABD = 30º
Answer: C
