Sunday night seems the right time to post a gallery of (I hope!) every one of Catriona's geometry puzzles.

Give it a moment to load ... there's a *lot* of them!

A right angled triangle with a filled red quarter circle with centre at the right angle and which is tangential to the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is divided into three equal parts, each labelled "2". The point of tangency of the quarter circle is at a division point, with one part above and two parts below. Also in the diagram is a semi-circle which has centre on one of the non-hypotenuse sides and which meets tangentially the hypotenuse at the other division point.
I have a query about one of @catrionaagg.bsky.social 's puzzles. The goal is the area of the red quarter circle.
I have a solution that *doesn't* use the semi-circle. Am I missing something, or is that semi-circle irrelevant?

For some reason, linking directly to an image doesn't fetch a preview of that image. That's annoying. Anyway, here's the image for that puzzle.

Sometimes I struggle to name @catrionaagg.bsky.social 's puzzles.
Sometimes I don't.
