An equilateral triangle has each of its sides of length $6 \text{ cm}$. If $(x_1, y_1), (x_2, y_2), \text{ and } (x_3, y_3)$ are its vertices,then the value of the determinant $\left| \begin{array}{ccc} x_1 & y_1 & 1 \\ x_2 & y_2 & 1 \\ x_3 & y_3 & 1 \end{array} \right|^2$ is equal to:

  • A
    $192$
  • B
    $243$
  • C
    $486$
  • D
    $972$
