bisecting the rhombi, one square root at a time

Studying for the GRE is, for me, akin to having my fingernails pulled off. Figuratively, of course. My left-brain function has atrophied impressively since sophomore year of undergrad, which was the last time I ever spoke the words "congruent" and "pi" aloud. If hell exists, is does so for people like me by welcoming us with protractors and questions like, "If n=4.9 and y+x=55.3, solve for the area of the arc represented by the probability that three die will all be rolled with the number 5 facing left."

grrrrrr...
