STEP 1: find diagonal $ d1 $
To find diagonal $ d1 $ use formula:
$$ \sin \left( \frac{ \alpha }{ 2 } \right) = \dfrac{ d_2 }{ d_1 } $$After substituting $\alpha = 60^o$ and $d_2 = 6\, \text{cm}$ we have:
$$ \sin \left( \frac{ 60^o }{ 2 } \right) = \dfrac{ d_2 }{ d_1 } $$ $$ \sin( 30^o ) = \dfrac{ 6\, \text{cm} }{ d_1 } $$ $$ \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } = \dfrac{ 6\, \text{cm} }{ d_1 } $$ $$ d_1 = \dfrac{ 6\, \text{cm} }{ \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } } $$ $$ d_1 = 12\, \text{cm} $$STEP 2: find area $ A $
To find area $ A $ use formula:
$$ A = \dfrac{ d_1 \cdot d_2 }{ 2 } $$After substituting $d_1 = 12\, \text{cm}$ and $d_2 = 6\, \text{cm}$ we have:
$$ A = \dfrac{ 12\, \text{cm} \cdot 6\, \text{cm} }{ 2 }$$$$ A = \dfrac{ 72\, \text{cm}^2 }{ 2 } $$$$ A = 36\, \text{cm}^2 $$
