Side AB\overline{A B} of ABC\triangle A B C is the diameter of a semicircle, as shown below. If AB=3+3,BC=32A B=3+\sqrt{3}, B C=3 \sqrt{2}, and AC=23A C=2 \sqrt{3}, then the area of the shaded region can be written as a+(b+cd)πe\frac{a+(b+c \sqrt{d}) \pi}{e}, where a,b,c,d,ea, b, c, d, e are integers, ee is positive, dd is square-free, and gcd(a,b,c,e)=1\operatorname{gcd}(a, b, c, e)=1.

Solution

Drop an altitude to point DD on AB\overline{A B} from CC and let x=ADx=A D. Solving for xx, we find 12x2=18(3+3x)212=189633+2(3+3)xx26+63=(6+23)xx=3\begin{aligned} 12-x^{2}=18-(3+\sqrt{3}-x)^{2} & \Rightarrow 12=18-9-6 \sqrt{3}-3+2(3+\sqrt{3}) x-x^{2} \\ & \Rightarrow 6+6 \sqrt{3}=(6+2 \sqrt{3}) x \\ & \Rightarrow x=\sqrt{3} \end{aligned} So AC=2ADA C=2 A D, from which we have CAD=60\angle C A D=60^{\circ}. Also, CD=AD3=3C D=A D \sqrt{3}=3 and BD=ABAD=B D=A B-A D= 3+33=33+\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{3}=3, so DBC=45\angle D B C=45^{\circ}. Then, if EE is the intersection of the circle with AC,F\overline{A C}, F is the intersection of the circle with BC\overline{B C}, and OO is the midpoint of AB,AOE=60\overline{A B}, \angle A O E=60^{\circ} and BOF=90\angle B O F=90^{\circ}. Then, letting r=AB2r=\frac{A B}{2}, we get that the area of the part of ABC\triangle A B C that lies inside the semicircle is 12πr2(14+16)πr2+12r2sin60+12r2sin90=112πr2+34r2+12r2=112(π+33+6)r2\begin{aligned} \frac{1}{2} \pi r^{2}-\left(\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{6}\right) \pi r^{2}+\frac{1}{2} r^{2} \sin 60^{\circ}+\frac{1}{2} r^{2} \sin 90^{\circ} & =\frac{1}{12} \pi r^{2}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} r^{2}+\frac{1}{2} r^{2} \\ & =\frac{1}{12}(\pi+3 \sqrt{3}+6) r^{2} \end{aligned} So the desired area is 3r112(π+33+6)r2=9+33218(π+33+6)(2+3)=12(9+33)18(2+3)π18(21+123)=15(2+3)π8\begin{aligned} 3 r-\frac{1}{12}(\pi+3 \sqrt{3}+6) r^{2} & =\frac{9+3 \sqrt{3}}{2}-\frac{1}{8}(\pi+3 \sqrt{3}+6)(2+\sqrt{3}) \\ & =\frac{1}{2}(9+3 \sqrt{3})-\frac{1}{8}(2+\sqrt{3}) \pi-\frac{1}{8}(21+12 \sqrt{3}) \\ & =\frac{15-(2+\sqrt{3}) \pi}{8} \end{aligned}
