A triangle and a circle are in the same plane. Show that the area of the intersection of the triangle and the circle is at most one third of the area of the triangle plus one half of the area of the circle. [i]Krit Boonsiriseth[/i]

Given a circle $C$ and a diameter $AB$ in it, mark a point $P$ on $AB$ different from the ends. In one of the two arcs determined by $AB$ choose the points $M$ and $N$ such that $\angle APM = 60 ^ \circ = \angle BPN$. The segments $MP$ and $NP$ are drawn to obtain three curvilinear triangles; $APM $, $MPN$ and $NPB$ (the sides of the curvilinear triangle $APM$ are the segments $AP$ and $PM$ and the arc $AM$). In each curvilinear triangle a circle is inscribed, that is, a circle is built tangent to the three sides. Show that the sum of the radii of the three inscribed circles is less than or equal to the radius of $C$.
