Answer:

Option (3) will be the answer.

Explanation:

Area of a triangle =
(1)/(2)(\text{Base})* (\text{Height})

=
(1)/(2)(AB)(CD)

Since, m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180°

60° + 60° + m∠C = 180°

m∠C = 180° - 120°

m∠C = 60°

Therefore, ΔABC is an equilateral triangle.

AB ≅ BC ≅ AC ≅12

Sin 60° =
(CD)/(BC)


(√(3))/(2)=(CD)/(12)

CD = 6√3

Now area of ΔABC =
(1)/(2)(6√(3))(12)

=
36√(3)

= 62.35

≈ 62.4 square units

Therefore, Option (3) will be the answer.
