The prize problem involves the finding ot the

ratio between the plane ot circle and the plane
Of an inscribed trihedron The numbers required
are Ss7 2l2s. which the following demonstration

AF equals go FD equals 45. hD equals II IL
All equals 1902 81 and (AC) equals 81 81 :
81 81 squared equals lc9 6eo-Is. or c70o and
27O0x "pi'' equals $3.50 l20-eSs; $50 100. 2S9
equals circles plane; FDSDA equals 45x77 II;
i5s77 IL equals si7l 81 the plane OF trihedron
Converting these values into common mutiples
we have the equation: 7oe27Oo ;1723sSOO so7 2l2s.

then We have S67 2l2s S l-7:l2 lsO-:Ss. or the
