Missing information from the prompt.

Should state: BC = 6√3

A. $$4 \sqrt{3}$$

B. $$6 \sqrt{3}$$

C. $$9 \sqrt{3}$$

D. $$12 \sqrt{3}$$

E. $$24 \sqrt{3}$$

triangle ABC is a right angled triangle at A, and ∠ BCO = 30 °, so ABC is 30-60-90 triangle and sides are in ratio 1:$$\sqrt{3}$$:2
now opposite 60 is side $$BC = 6 \sqrt{3}$$, so AB=6 and AC=12=2*radius.... radius = 6

Let us see OAB..
As we can see AB=6 and OA=OB=radius=6
so it is an equilateral triangle with side 6..
area = $$(\sqrt{3}/4)*6^2=9\sqrt{3}$$
