let named it  S  S=Area(EAD)+Area(EDC)+Area(ECB)+Area(EBA)  A rea(EAD)=(1/2)EA×ED×∣sin(mesAED)∣=∣sinθ∣  cause  mesAED=θ     Area(EDC)=(1/2)ED×EC×∣sin(mesDEC)∣=3∣sinθ∣  cause  mesDEC=π−θ  Area(ECB)=(1/2)EC×EB×∣sinθ∣=6∣sinθ∣  Area(EBA)=(1/2)EB×EA×∣sin(π−θ)∣=2∣sinθ∣  So  S=12∣sinθ∣   S^2 =144 (1−cos^2 θ)=144(1−(7/(16)))=((144×9)/(16))   finally   S=((12×3)/4)=9  check if there is not any mistake
