Picture is divided into top and bottom section. Both are labeled sections of a unit circle.

Consider length x in the top section. Rotate the picture by 90 deg ccw to see x = y. By the Pythagorean theorem 1 = x^2 + y^2 = x^2 + x^2. Solve for x.

The red highlighted triangle in the bottom section is an equilateral triangle so that each of its sides has length 1. The vertical axis bisects the top edge of the red highlighted triangle. The top edge of the red highlighted triangle has length 1 so that length z must be 1/2. Use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the remaining side length.

Elite mathematicians only browse /mg/ and wouldn't dare be seen with the engineers in /sqt/.
