If AD is 6 and ADC is a right angle, what is the area of triangular region ABC?

(1) Angle ABD = 60°
(2) AC = 12

The OA is C.

I think the answer is E since it is not given that BDC points are collinear. But this isn't the OA, can anyone help, please? Thanks!

Since ABC is a triangular region, it implies that BDC points are collinear.

Hope this helps!
