Consider a square flag with a red cross of uniform width and a blue triangular central region on a white background. The cross is symmetric with respect to each of the diagonals of the square. Let's say the entire cross, including the blue triangle, occupies 45% of the area of the flag. Calculate the percentage of the flag's area that is blue if the triangle is an equilateral triangle centered in the flag and the side length of the triangle is half the width of the red cross arms.
