I didn't read it that way, but I was wondering if the fact that the triangle is right-isosceles imposes some kind of additional condition that lets us find \theta.
Don't really have the time to work it further right now though. Geometry isn't really my forte.
I need to spend some time myself analyzing your answers, but for \theta, the inscribed angle theorem should help.

Ah, yes!
The two green c have equal lengths.
Hence, the angles in the bottom right corner must be equal.
They both add up to 45°, because the triangle is right-isosceles, hence they are \frac{45°}{2}.
Now the inscribed angle theorem says \theta = 3*45°.
Therefore, \frac{r}{k} = \sqrt{2-\sqrt{2}} \approx{0.76537}

I have \frac{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}}}{\sqrt{2}+1} which also \approx 0.76537 if I'm not mistaken.
Your expression is even simpler.
Good job :)
A GitHub PR for collapsable answers is on its way in next few days. We'll be able to hide spoilers which should increase the fun factor.
