Squaring the Circle



    What is meant by squaring the circles?

Answer:     Finding a Square with the same area as a given circle is a problem which confronted even the Greek Mathematicians. The difficulty in this problem lies in the fact that a ruler and compass only could be used.
                 If only we could draw a straight line equal to the circumference of circle…. Eureka! But an attempt to solve the problem from as far back as 460 B.C. has been in vain.
