It is Impossible to Square a Circle

The Enigma of Pi - 3.14, Eludes us all.
The Enigma of Pi
Rounded off, Pi = 3.14

It is impossible to square a circle.
Mankind has yet to find the value of Pi - and never will.
Pi is an IRRATIONAL number – that is, it never repeats, such as 3.3333333…….
Pi is a TRANSCENDENTAL number, that it is not the root of a rational polynomial equation.

Interestingly, if you take Pi 23 decimal places, you have 3.14159265358979323846264 How(3) I(1) want(4) a(1) drink,(5) alcoholic,(9) of(2) course,(6) after(5) the(3) heavy(5) lectures( involving(9) quantum(7) mechanics.(9) All(3) of(2) thy(3) geometry,( Herr(4) Planck,(6) is(2) fairly(6) hard.(4).

It has been calculated out to 200 BILLION places, yet will never be solved. Pi is between the values 310/71 and 31/7 and is obtained by circumscribing and inscribing a circle with regular polygons having 96 sides. It is the number of times the diameter of a circle goes into it's circumference. 3.141592653589793....... However, PI goes on infinitely, and will never come to an end.

To see it worked out to 200 MILLION, visit www.angio.net/pi/piquery.html
So far to date, it has been worked out to 200 BILLION places…..and counting. To printout the results would run computer paper around the world ten times or fill a stack sheets over two miles high.

The subject is so amazing, it is one of the most incredible enigmas of life.
When dealing with straight lines, we can find dimensions and areas in one minute or less. The area of a square is A=L X W. Area is equal to length times the width. If one was to draw a square 10 inches on each side, the area of that square is 100 square inches.
But to draw a circle equal to 100 square inches is absolutely impossible.

In the mathematical world they say that "It is impossible to square a circle". That is, there is no possible way to draw a square equal in square inch area to a circle. But that is backwards. It is elusive enough to try to create a circle equal in area to a square, but what is so elusive to begin with is trying to calculate the area of ANY circle in the first place! There is positively no way this side of eternity to know the solution. The formula to calculate the area of a circle is:
A=Pi X R X R (Pi R Square). Pi is equal to the radius times the radius. Simple enough – but Pi has no exact value. Therefore no one can ever know the answer.

Why? We are not dealing with straight lines when drawing circles or ellipses. Circles have no beginning and no end. Circles have curved lines that are affecting the calculation constantly as your travel around the curve. It essentially amounts to a task of finding the area to the circle by finding the area of "pie shaped" sectors of that circle essentially in the shape of triangles, then adding them all up. However, one side of that triangle is a curved line, and escapes "finding out".

"O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!" Rom. 11:33
