Answer:

72 sqrt(3) ft^2

Explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

We can find the height by

tan theta = opp /adj

tan 60 = h /12

12 tan 60 = h

12 sqrt(3) = h

Then we can find the area

A = 1/2 bh where b is the length of the base and h is the height

A = 1/2 ( 12) ( 12 sqrt(3))

A = 72 sqrt(3) ft^2
