(1) Triangle KLM is an equilateral triangle.
area of an equilateral triangle = $$\frac{root3*a^2}{4}$$(where a is length of a side)
but we do not know a
insufficient

(2) The radius of circle K is 3.
since the circles are identical , they will have same radius
therefore , a= 6
area can be calculated
sufficient

B
