Two tangents are drawn from the point P(−1,1)P(-1,1)P(−1,1) to the circle x2+y2−2x−6y+6=0.{x}^{2}+{y}^{2}-2x-6y+6=0.x2+y2−2x−6y+6=0. If these tangents touch the circle at points AAA and B,B,B, and if DDD is a point on the circle such that length of the segments ABABAB and ADADAD are equal, then the area of the triangle ABDABDABD is equal to:
