Abstract

 This paper presents an attempt to finally solve the problem of constructing the squares of the same surface of the given circle, in a simple way: by determining the exact value of the number π. The value of this constant thus far implies the following: in the Universe there is no square of the same surface as the given circle!?     It's pointless. The number π is not irrational, so it is not transcendental number either.

The most approximate value that has been used throughout history is: "Indian sources by about 150
BC treat as √10 ≈ 3.1622. " "In ancient China, values for π included √10 (100 AD, approximately
3.1623)." wikipedia
