D- 36π
OD is the radius and ODE is right triangle with angle DOE as 90. So using sin90= perpendicular/ hypotenuse. We have 6 as perpendicular which is also radius.
Area of circle- 36π
6 cant be the radius as DE>OD, radius has to be less than 6
24pi is the answer
24π is the answer.
Joining CE and CF,∆COE~=∆DOE
This implies CE=6cm.Using phthagorean theorem in ∆CFB,CF=√32.Then applying Pythagoras theorem in ∆CFD,CD=√96.Then find the area.

(6÷2r)=(r÷8)
So r=✓24
A= 24π
Could you please tell me how is CFB a right angle triangle?
Hello Vernica !
triangle CFD not triangle CFB .
Triangle inscribed in a semicircle is always a right-angled triangle.
