2009 HMMT November Guts Round Problem 20

Consider an equilateral triangle and a square both inscribed in a unit circle such that one side of the square is parallel to one side of the triangle. Compute the area of the convex heptagon formed by the vertices of both the triangle and the square.

Answers are checked by value, so any equivalent form is accepted: 1/2, \frac{1}{2} and 0.5 all count as the same answer.
