Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
An apothem is a perpendicular drawn from the centre of the triangle to one of its sides.
The three apothems OD, OE, and OF divide ∆ABC into six smaller congruent triangles.
1. Area of ∆OCD
CotOCD = OD/OC
cot30 = CD/6
√3 = CD/6
CD = 6√3
A= ½bh
A = ½ × 6√3 × 6 = 18√3 in²
2. Area of ∆ABC
A = 6 × area of ∆OCD = 6 × 18√3 = 108√3 in²
