What is the greatest possible area of a triangle region with one vertex at the center of a circle of a radius of 1 and the other two vertices on the circle?
A) sqrt(3)/4
B) 1/2
C) pi/4
D) 1
E) sqrt(2)
Gprep OA - B
I got it right, but only by guessing - can someone put some math behind this problem for me?

For the biggest area, always think right angle triangle.
one point on origin and two on circum with redius 1, that means base=hight=1
So area = 1/2*1*1 = 1/2.
