The origin of the problem squaring
the circle is almost lost in the mists OF
antiquity, but there is a record OF an
attempted quadrature in Egypt 800
years before the exodus of the Jews.
There is also a claim, according to
Hone, that the problem was solved by
discovery Of Hippocrates, the geo
metrician Of Chios- not the physician
500 B. G. Now, the efforts Of Hippoc-
rates were devoted toward converting
a circle into crescent, because he had
found that the area of figure pro-
duced by drawing two perpendicular
radii in circle is exactly equal to the
triangle formed by the line Of junction.
This is the famous theorem Of the
slunes Of Hippocrates" and is, like
