The side of an equilateral triangle is a. A circle is inscribed in the triangle and a square is inscribed in circle. Find the area of the square.


the radius of the circle inscribe is r = a(√3/6).


the diagonal of the square d = 2r


the area of the square is A = d^2/2


A = (1/2)(2a(√3/6))^2


A = (1/6)a^2
