#color(magenta)(3.106 units#

#:.cancelpi^color(magenta)1/cancel6^color(magenta)1xxcancel180^color(magenta)30/cancelpi^color(magenta)1=30^@#

#:.cancelcolor(magenta)pi/cancel12^color(magenta)1xxcancel180^color(magenta)15/cancelcolor(magenta)pi=15^@#

#:.A/(sin15^@)=6/(sin30^@)#

#:.A=(6xxsin15^2)/sin30^@#

#:.A=(6xx0.258819045)/0.5#

#:.A=1.552914271/.5#
