OC=2  OB=4=DO  CB=2(√3)  DC=4+2=6  AB=2×2(√3)=4(√3)  A_(ABC) =(1/2)×4(√3)×6=12(√3)  or  A_(ABC) =6×A_(OCB) =6×(1/2)×2(√3)×2=12(√3)

$${OC}=\mathrm{2} \\ $$$${OB}=\mathrm{4}={DO} \\ $$$${CB}=\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$${DC}=\mathrm{4}+\mathrm{2}=\mathrm{6} \\ $$$${AB}=\mathrm{2}×\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}=\mathrm{4}\sqrt{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$$\boldsymbol{{A}}_{\boldsymbol{{ABC}}} =\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}×\mathrm{4}\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}×\mathrm{6}=\mathrm{12}\sqrt{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$${or} \\ $$$$\boldsymbol{{A}}_{\boldsymbol{{ABC}}} =\mathrm{6}×{A}_{{OCB}} =\mathrm{6}×\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}×\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}×\mathrm{2}=\mathrm{12}\sqrt{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$

s=nr^2 tan(π/n)=3×4×tg(π/3)=12(√3)   .■

$${s}={nr}^{\mathrm{2}} {tan}\frac{\pi}{{n}}=\mathrm{3}×\mathrm{4}×{tg}\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{3}}=\mathrm{12}\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}\:\:\:.\blacksquare \\ $$
