Find the Area of triangle in the semi-circle
$begingroup$
In the above figure, O is the centre of the circle.
If $angle BCO=30 ^circ$ and BC=$12 sqrt 3$, what is the area of triangle ABO?
I worked like OA=OB=OC(radii of the circle).
So, $angle OBC=30^circ,angle BOC=120^circ$
$angle AOB=60^circ,angle ABO=60^circ,angle OAB=60^circ$
Triangle AOB comes to be an equilateral triangle.
How Do I find OA?
Please help.

Can you find a right-angled triangle and use Pythagoras?

You mean AC=2r,AB=r and $angle ABC=90^circ$ ?

The ABC angle is a right angle, so $12sqrt{3} tan(30) = AB$ then $frac{ABcdot BC}{2}$ and you got it.

Let $AO=x$.
Thus, $AB=2x$ and since $measuredangle BCO=30^{circ},$ we obtain: $$AB=frac{1}{2}AC=x.$$
Now, by Pythagoras
$$AC^2-AB^2=BC^2$$ or
$$(2x)^2-x^2=(12sqrt3)^2,$$ which gives $$x=12.$$
Can you end it now?

Let $AO=x$.
Thus, $AB=2x$ and since $measuredangle BCO=30^{circ},$ we obtain: $$AB=frac{1}{2}AC=x.$$
Now, by Pythagoras
$$AC^2-AB^2=BC^2$$ or
$$(2x)^2-x^2=(12sqrt3)^2,$$ which gives $$x=12.$$
Can you end it now?
