A line and a circle intersect at A and B, as shown below. Find the distance between A and B.
The circle is x^2 + y^2 = 1, and the line is y = x.

This is an easy one, I don't even have to draw it.
The circle is centered on the origin with a radius of 1.
The line crosses through the origin and intersects the circle.
The distance between A & B is the diameter of the circle. = 2 units
