Check the picture below.

the radius, so-called because if we circumscribe the triangle in a circle, that'd be the radius of the circumcircle, is 3 inches, as you see there in the picture in red.

now, bear in mind that the triangle is an equilateral one, and therefore, 180/3 = 60, meaning all its interior angles are congruently 60°.

if we run the radius of the triangle, like there, it will cut one of those interior angles in half, namely the radius is an angle bisector, and if we run a perpendicular line to the bottom side, like the dashed one there, we end up with a 30-60-90 triangle, to which we can apply the 30-60-90 rule, as you see it there.

since we know what half of a side of the triangle is, as you see it there in blue, then we can use that and plug it in at

\bf \textit{area of an equilateral triangle}\\\\
A=\cfrac{s^2\sqrt{3}}{4}~~
\begin{cases}
s=length~of\\
\qquad a~side\\
-------\\
s=\stackrel{\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}+\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}}{3\sqrt{3}}
\end{cases}\implies A=\cfrac{(3\sqrt{3})^2\sqrt{3}}{4}
\\\\\\
A=\cfrac{(3^2\sqrt{3^2})\sqrt{3}}{4}\implies A=\cfrac{(9\cdot 3)\sqrt{3}}{4}\implies A=\cfrac{27\sqrt{3}}{4}
