When two sides of a triangle is given, then we will get the largest area by making the angle between them a right angle. This is because,danjuma wrote:What is the greatest possible area of a triangular region with one vertex at the center of a circle of radius 1 and the other 2 vertices on the circle?
1. 1
2.1/2
3. 1/4
4. 1/3
5. 2
- Area of triangle = (Product of two sides)*(Sine of angle between them)/2
In this question, two sides of the triangle is also the radius off the circle.
Thus, greatest possible area = (1)*(1)/2 = 1/2
The correct answer is B.
