One side of an equilateral triangle of height lies on line . A circle of radius is tangent to line and is externally tangent to the triangle. The area of the region exterior to the triangle and the circle and bounded by the triangle, the circle, and line can be written as , where , , and are positive integers and is not divisible by the square of any prime. What is ?

Solution 1
Call the bottom vertices and (the one closer to the circle is ) and the top vertice . The tangency point between the circle and the side of triangle is , and the tangency point on line , and the center of the circle is
Draw radii to the tangency points, the arc is 60 degrees because is 60, and since is supplementary, it's . The sum of the angles in a quadrilateral is 360, which means is
Triangle ODC is 30-60-90 triangle so CD is .
Since we have 2 congruent triangles ( and ), the combined area of both is .
The area of the arc is which is , so the answer is
is which is
