Solution
The right interior point is distance from and so these three points lie on a circle of radius Chords and also have length so each subtends at the center. Thus Similarly, the other half is its mirror image.
Put and then The other intersection of the radius- circles centered at and is and is its reflection across the -axis.
Applying the shoelace formula to gives which equals
So
Thus, the correct answer is D.
