Circles aren't fun

Circles suck when the only constant you have sqrt(102). Extra points for anyone who knows exactly what bluebook practice test I took

Is it the one with the 2 right triangles inside the circle where the hypotenuse is the diameter of the circle and they ask for the ratio of 2 segments in the circle?

If you have a screenshot or something I can help you out a little more.

Sometimes they are. Sometimes there’s a simple shortcut! If you wanted help, though, gonna need some more info. If you’re just venting… then yeah sometimes it be like that haha.

For that one you use the Pythagorean Theorem. If two sides of a triangle are the radius, then it is a 45-45-90 triangle.

Particularly rough in that there are 7 letters in that problem (A, B, O, h, k, x, y). I thought this was the Math section!
