slope of circle inscribed in the parabola?

suppose that a circle of radius r and center(0,c) is inscribed in the parabola y= x2.At the point of tangency, the slopes must be the same. Find the slope of the circle implicitly and show that at the point of tangency, y= c-1/2. Then use the equestions of the circle and parabola to show that c=r2 1/4 |

Suppose you are given a square with an inscribed circle as shown below. If the area of the square is 85 m2 what is the area of the circle? (use 3.14159 as your approximation for Pi and round your answer to two decimal places)
Okay, I know I should have some work for my question, but I really have nothing. We're supposed to find the area of a semicircle inscribed between the parabola 12-3x^2 and the x-axis. My teacher said we're supposed to use triangles to represent x and why values and the hypotenuse as our radius....
