Michael Rack offers a solution that produces an acurate algebraic value for pi.

This proposed solution produces a square that has the same area as the circle. For r=1, each side of the square is equal to the square root of π. The angle theta is derived from asin(sqrt(pi))/4. R*sin(theta)=aqrt(pi)/2 and dia.*sin(theta)=sqrt(pi) and pow(dia.*sin(theta),2)=pi.

This is achieved by drawing a series of circles along both axes and joining the points of intersection, so creating a grid. This ensures that every constructed square of the grid, has sides of equal legnth, regardless of the legnth of the radius.This enables the construction of a right triangle. The hypotenuse terminate at the circumferance creating a point with height equal to square root pi/2.




For r=1, the area of the square and the circle equal π. Dividing the two areas results in 1.

For a circle with r=400 the area of the circle and the square=502654.8245743669104 and the created value for pi=3.141592653589793....

Thank you for visiting my site, I hope you find it interesting. If you can explain how this solution manages to produce a solution to such accuracy, or if you have any constructive comments regarding this solution or quadrature, I would be happy to read them.
