by using pythagoras theorem for triangle ABC
(2a)2=x2+((a√3)2) (let x be unknown side of triangle ABC)
then x=a
area of big triangle =(1/2)*a*a√3=
(√3/2)∗a2 we need to remove the area of unshaded region to get area of shaded region lets find area of unshaded region
from ΔDGH ∠D=30 and HG=b-c
then DG=√3(b-c) (by applying tan formula)
area of ΔDGH=
(√3(b−c)2/2)------(2)
now area of ▭DEFG = √3(b-c)*c
we can write this as=
(√3/2)∗(2bc−2c2) -----(3)
total area of unshaded region=
(√3/2)∗(b2−c2)now total area of shaded region will be eqn(1)-eqn(3)=
(√3/2)∗(a2−b2+c2) option C is correct
