The area of any triangle with a x° angle in the domain of 90° < x < 180°, is less than the area of a triangle with x=90°. Having said that, we can calculate the area of a 90 degress triangle:
Area of the circle
\(Á_{circle} = \pi*r = 36\pi\)
\(r = 6\)
but, we know that the area of a triangle is given by:
\(Á_{triangle} = \frac{b*h}{2}\)
and, because we have a isoseles, the area is:
\(Á_{triangle} = \frac{r*r}{2} = \frac{6*6}{2}\)
\(Á_{triangle} = 18\)
but, x is MORE THAN 90°, therefore, we are completely sure that the area of any triangle in that domain must be less than 18.
Option B

Option B
it is mentioned in question that
x is > 90.,
therefore ans should be A
