Q- what is the greatest possible area of a triangle region with one vertex at the center of a circle of radius 1 and the other 2 vertices on the circle?

1: V3 / 4 (root 3 /4)

2:1/2

3:Pi /4

4:1

5:V2 (root 2)

OA B

let the triangle be AOB..o is center

hence area of the triangle is 1/2*OA*OB*Sin(AOB)=1/2*Sin(AOB)

now 0<=|Sin(AOB)|<=1
hence max area of the triangle is 1/2*1=1/2
option B

No point in using Trig functions. For easy math lets imagine the triangle is a 45 45 90

Since the radius is 1 The base and height will be 1, hypotenuse will be sqrt(2), but we don't need it for this problem

A = 1/2(B)(H)

A = 1/2(1)(1) = 1/2

I found a good way

sin(AOB) is out of scope of GMAT TEST, we do different way


draw the fugure. O is center, A, B on the circle, OA perpendicular to BX at the point X

the area=1/2 0A*BX(the side in the trangular OBX)

in the trangular OBX, BX is max when BX=OB=1

so 1/2
