I think we can deduce the biggest triangular area in a circle with one vertex at the center of the circle and the other vertex on the circle, is a right triangle ...

Seriously, I find this question difficult and I do not see which rule you have to use...

As pepeprepa said it shud be right angle triangle.

i think it shud be 1/2*1*1 = 1/2 ( radius 1 , other side 1 and hypoteneuse sq rt 2 )

hope it helps

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
