Since the circle has area 9 π , we know that the radius is 3, which implies that the height of the equilateral triangle is 6. This implies that C D = 3 6 . Thus the area is just 6 ( 3 6 ) ≈ 2 0 . 7 8 4
Can you add a few lines explaining how you arrived at that calculation?

I have added the lines.
the height of the triangle is 6 and since it is an equilateral triangle, the rest comes from elementary geometry. The area = 12*sqrt[3].
Area = 9(pi)
AD =dia = 6
CD = AC/2 = (AC^2 - 6^2)^(1/2)
AC = (48)^(1/2)
Area of triangle = 1/2 * b * h = 1/2 * 6.9282 * 6 = 20.7846(Ans.)
As circles area is 9 π = r 2 π ⇒ the circle's radii is 3 ⇒ A D = 6 .
Then, sin 6 0 ° A D = sin 9 0 A B ⇒ 2 3 6 = 1 A B ∴ A B = 3 1 2 = 4 3
Finally, the area of A B C is 2 4 3 × 6 = 1 2 3

area of circle=9 pi by area of circle=9pi radius=3 In triangle ACD, Sin60=6/AC (as radius=3, diameter=6) AC=12/root3, area of equilateral triangle= root3/4 length^2 12 root 3 is the answer,
Sorry for not being able to type root 3....this ws my first time typing any answer like this...
