Abstract

Squaring the circle is impossible, but it can be squared approximately. Ramanujan gave a construction correct to eight decimal places. In his book Mathographics, Dixon gave constructions correct to three decimal places. In this article, we provide a new construction correct to three decimal places and another correct to nine decimal places.
