O is the center of the semicircle. If anfle BCO = 6√3, What is the area of triangle ABO?

$$A.\ 4\sqrt{3}$$
$$B.\ 6\sqrt{3}$$
$$C.\ 9\sqrt{3}$$
$$D.\ 12\sqrt{3}$$
$$E.\ 24\sqrt{3}$$

The OA is C.

Is there a strategic approach to this PS question? Can any experts help me? Please. Thanks!

I don't think you correctly transcribed the question.
If we're not given any lengths at all, it's impossible to find the area of triangle ABO

Cheers,

Oh! I so sorry! I have a mistake!
The question say,

O is the center of semicirle. If angle BCO = 30 and BC = 6√3, what is the area of triangle ABO?

Thank you so much!
