Question 1123260: There is a square with side length k. Inside the square is a single circle tangent to all four sides. Inside the image, as a whole, is an equilateral triangle, with base at the bottom of the square and top of the triangle ABOUT 3/4 of k (no height was actually given). If the picture in your mind is right (draw it out), what is the area of the shaded region in the bottom right corner where the circle, square, and triangle all meet? (this does not include the entire right side, which would lose the point of the equilateral triangle) (in simple words, it’s the region below the circle to the right, but stopped where the equilateral triangle intersects the square) This is a very hard problem, and doubt anybody can solve it.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Certainly nobody can solve the problem if they don't know what the problem is.
Your description is not clear to me.
I think the circle tangent to all four sides of the square is clear enough.
And from your description of the equilateral triangle, I think its base is the bottom edge of the square.
The diagram I get from your description is then like this:
But then you talk about a point where the circle square, and triangle all meet... yet they do not all meet anywhere.
My best guess is that the area we are to find is as marked ABC in the diagram.
But I am not inclined to spend any time trying to solve the problem when I don't know if the figure is correct.
