User:Squaring The Circle

The Rhind Papyrus states the solution to squaring the circle. The Rhind Papyrus #50 reads:  A circular field has diameter 9 khet. What is its area? The written solution reads: Subtract 1/9 of the diameter which leaves 8 khet. The area is 8 multiplied by 8, or 64 setat.

The original rules include using a straight edge and compass ONLY. Pictured is the drawing or blueprint using a straight edge and compass ONLY. Also, it is extremely important to note that the Rhind Papyrus predates the discovery of pi.
