AOp = 60. therefore area = 30pi + area of triangle.
perpendicular: cos 30 = height/6 or height = 3root(3)
sin 30 = (base/2)/6 or base = 6
thus area = (1/2)6*3(root(3)) = 9(sqrt3)

Cans method is perfect, but if you are not familiar with trigonometry,
In triangle AOB, 2 sides are equal (radius) and other angle is 60, which makes it an equilateral triangle.
So area of eq. triangle is [(sqrt3)/4]*6*6 = 9(sqrt3).
The other sector is 5/6th the total area, so 30pie.
Hence D
