This book aims to ascertain the relationship between the circle and rectilinear figures from geometric principles, a challenge that has intrigued the greatest minds for ages. The author, an experienced mathematician, offers a new perspective on this subject through a logical argument based on ancient doctrines, with the ultimate goal of finding the exact proportion between the circle and the square of its radius. This book analyzes the concept of the circle and its segments, leading to the exploration of various geometrical figures like the quadrant, arcoid, lune, and lunette, examining their properties and interconnections. It delves into the significance of a right-angled triangle inscribed within a circle, investigating the relationship between the triangle and the square of its half-base. The author also explores the application of the circle's side to the circumference, particularly in the context of polygons. Overall, this book presents a comprehensive study of the circle and its related geometric figures, offering valuable insights for those interested in geometry and mathematics.
