Answer:

You could use the polygon area formula OR here's an easier solution

We draw the lines DC and DE

Angle ADC = 120°

Triangle ADC is a 30 60 90 triangle

In such a triangle Line AE = hypotenuse * sq root (3) /2

Line AE = 3 * 0.8660254038 = 2.5980762114

Line DE = 1.5

Area of Triangle ADE = .5 * 1.5 * 2.5980762114 =

1.9485571586 square meters and entire area of Triangle

ABC = 6 * 1.9485571586

which equals 11.6913429513 square meters
