In the figure, BA = AD = DC and point D is on segment BC. The measure of angle ACD is 25 degrees. What is the measure of angle ABC?

Both of the separate triangles in this figure are isosceles, as two of their sides are the same. 

 

Thus, we know that $\angle{ACD} = \angle{DAC} = 25$. 

 

From this, we know that $\angle{ADC} = 180 - 25 \cdot 2$, for the two other angles in the triangle. Thus, $\angle{ADC} = 130$. 

 

Because $\angle{ADB}$ and $\angle{ADC}$ are supplementary, we know that $\angle{ADB} = 180 - 130 = 50$. 

 

Finally, since $\triangle{ABD}$ is isosceles, we know that $\angle{ABC}$ is also $\boxed{50}$.
