By the definition of 30 - 60 - 90 triangles...AC=$$2\sqrt{3}$$ and $$AD=\sqrt{3}$$.

Triangle CDB is also a 30-60-90 degree triangle...angle B is sixty(60) degrees.

That means BD=1, and CB=2

..Thus, the area of the triangle is $$\frac{1}{2}*2*2\sqrt{3}=2\sqrt{3}$$

Both triangles are 30-60-90 triangles. Using triangle properties, we get that AD is 3 and DB is 1. We also know that CB is 2.  AC is $$2\sqrt{3}$$. The area is 0.5*base*height so it is $$2\sqrt{3}$$

Note that in triangle  ABC  longer leg is  2√3 cm  and the area is  2√3 cm²

If the value of a leg of the right triangle is 2, than the numeric value of the other leg and the area of that triangle is the same!
