Let the radius of the circle be a.


sinb = a/(a+a)

b = 30°


cos30 = c/2a

c = √(3)a units.


d = 2-c

d = (2-√(3)a) units.


sin30 = e/d

e =½(2-√(3)a) units.


cos30 = f/d

½√(3) = f/(2-√(3)a)

f = ½(2√(3)-3a) units.


g = a+a+a

g = 3a units.


h = f+g

h = ½(2√(3)-3a)+3a

h = ½(2√(3)+3a) units.

h is the diameter of the half circle.


j = ½h

j = ¼(2√(3)+3a) units.

j is the radius of the half circle.


k = a+j

k = a+¼(2√(3)+3a)

k = ¼(2√(3)+7a) units.


l = j-a

l = ¼(2√(3)+3a)-a

l = ¼(2√(3)-a) units.


Therefore;


k² = l²+e²


(¼(2√(3)+7a))² = (¼(2√(3)-a))²+(½(2-√(3)a))²


(12+28√(3)a+49a²)/16 = (12-4√(3)a+a²)/16+¼(4-4√(3)a+3a²)


12+28√(3)a+49a² = 12-4√(3)a+a²+16-16√(3)a+12a²


36a²+48√(3)a-16 = 0


9a²+12√(3)a-4 = 0


a²+⅓(4√(3))a = ⅑(4)


(a+⅓(2√(3)))² = ⅑(4)+(⅓*2√(3))²


(a+⅓(2√(3)))² = ⅑(4)+⅑(12)


(a+⅓(2√(3)))² = ⅑(16)


a = -⅓(2√(3))±√(⅑(16))


a = -⅓(2√(3))±⅓(4)


It implies;


a = ⅓(4-2√(3)) units.

a = 0.17863279495 units.

Again, a is the radius of the circle.


Recall.


j = ¼(2√(3)+3a)

And a = ⅓(4-2√(3))

j = ¼(2√(3)+2(⅓(4-2√(3))))

j = ¼(2√(3)+4-2√(3))

j = ¼(4) 

j = 1 unit.

Again, j is the radius of the half circle.


It implies, area half circle is;


½(πj²)

= ½(π*1²)

= ½(π) square units.
