Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Area of a triangle with two sides and one acute angle is represented by

Area = (side1) (side2)
((sin\theta))/(2)

where θ is an angle between the side.

Side 1 = 13 [given]

Side 2 = 13 [given]

Since ∠EDF = 63°

So ∠EFD = 63° [ equilateral triangle]

Therefore, ∠DEF = 180 - [63 -63]

= 180° - 126°

= 54°

Now area will be A = 13 × 13 ×
(sin54*)/(2)


=169*(0.809)/(2)

= 68.36 ≈ 68.4 square units.

Option A is the answer.
