in the given triangle,

AB = BC = 6

As, the two sides are equal so, the given triangle is isosceles.

also, the angle < ABC = 120 degrees,

the area of the isosceles triangle is,


A=(1)/(2)* a^2*\sin \theta^{}

here a = length of two congruent sides,

theta = the angle between congruent sides.

put the values,

A = 1/2 x 6^2 x sin 120


A=(1)/(2)*6^2*\sin 120
\begin{gathered} A=(36)/(2)*\frac{\sqrt[]{3}}{2} \\ A=9\sqrt[]{3} \end{gathered}

thus, the correct answer is option D
