Pi Equation

What follows is the supporting mathematical analysis for the GeoGebra construct. This work was an outgrowth of my team's work with the Circle Squaring Problem and is still under review and subject to further analysis. 1. A (0, -1) 2. B (0, 0) 3. Circle c has center A with radius 1. x2 + (y + 1)2 = 1 4. C (-1, -1) 5. Line a is through points C and A and is y = -1. 6. Point D is the intersection of Circle c with Line a. There are two points on Line a intersecting with Circle c: (-1, -1) which is Point C and the other point (1, -1) is Point D. 7. Circle d has center at Point D with a radius of 1. (x – 1)2 + (y + 1)2 = 1 8. Circle e has center at Point C with radius 1. (x + 1)2 + (y + 1)2 = 1 9. Point E (-0.5, (√3)/2 – 1) 10. Point F (0.5, (√3)/2 – 1) 11. Make a square with CD as the base. The corners are C, D, G, and H. Side CD is segment b; DG is segment f; GH is segment g; and HC is segment h. 12. Diagonal DH is segment i. x = -y 13. Diagonal CG is segment j. x = y 14. Circle k is with Center F and passes through Point D. It has a radius 1. (x – 0.5)2 + (y + 1 – (√3)/2)2 = 1 15. Circle p has Center E and passes through Point C with radius 1. (x + 0.5)2 + (y + 1 – (√3)/2)2 = 1 16. Point l is the intersection above X-axis of Circles k and p. Point l is (0, (√3) – 1). The other point of intersection Point J coincides with Point A and is (0, -1) 17. Circle q has center at Point l and passes through Point B. The radius of this circle is the difference between the Y-coordinates of Points l and B and is equal to ((√3) – 1). x2 + (y - ((√3) – 1))2 = ((√3) – 1)2 18. Point K is the intersection of Segment i and Circle p. Point L is the opposite point of intersection between the diagonal and the circle. Equation for Circle p is (x + 0.5)2 + (y + 1 – (√3)/2)2 = 1 Equation for Segment i is x = -y Substituting for x in the equation for Circle p we get: (-y + 0.5)2 + (y + 1 – (√3)/2)2 = 1 (y2 – y + 0.25) + (y2 + 2 (1 – (√3)/2)y + (1 – (√3)/2)2 ) = 1 y2 – y + 0.25 + y2 + 2 (1 – (√3)/2)y + (1 – (√3)/2)2 = 1 2 y2 + (2 - √3 – 1) y + (1 – (√3)/2)2 +0.25 – 1 = 0 2 y2 + (1 - √3) y + 1 + ¾ - √3 – ¾ = 0 2 y2 + (1 - √3) y + (1 - √3) = 0 2 y2 - ((√3) – 1) y - ((√3) - 1) = 0 The above is a quadratic equation a y2 + b y +c = 0 where a = 2; b = - ((√3) – 1); and c = - ((√3) - 1) b2 – 4ac = ((√3) – 1)2 + 8 ((√3) - 1) = 3 + 1 – 2 √3 + 8 √3 – 8 = 6 √3 – 4 = 2((3√3) – 2) For verification, 2 (3 √3 – 2) = 6.392305 Positive root is (-b + √(b2 – 4ac))/2a = ( 0.732051 + 2.528301)/4 = 0.815088 Hence K(-0.815088, 0.815088) The negative root is (0.732051 – 2.528301)/4 = -0.449063 giving L(0.449063, -0.449063) Geogebra gives K(-0.82, 0.82); and L(0.45, -0.45). Verified. xk = -(((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4 yk = (((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4 Point L is of no interest to us. 19. Point M is the intersection between Circle k and diagonal CG in the 4th quadrant. The point of interest, Point N is the intersection point in the 1st quadrant. The equation for Circle k is (x – 0.5)2 + (y + 1 – (√3)/2)2 = 1 The equation for diagonal CG is x = y. Substituting for x in the Circle k equation, we have: (y – 0.5)2 + (y + 1 – (√3)/2)2 = 1 (y2 – y + 0.25) + (y2 + 2 (1 – (√3)/2) y + (1 – (√3)/2)2) = 1 (y2 – y + 0.25) + (y2 + (2 – √3) y + (1 + ¾ - √3)) = 1 y2 – y + 0.25 + y2 + (2 – √3) y + (1 + ¾ - √3) – 1 = 0 2y2 + (1 – √3) y + (1 - √3) = 0 2y2 – ((√3) – 1) y - ((√3) – 1) = 0. The above is of the form ay2 + by + c = 0 where a = 2; b = – ((√3) – 1); and c = - ((√3) – 1). The solution to the above equation is the same as the one found in step 18. xN = (((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4 yN = (((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4 Point N is (0.815088, 0.815088) Geogebra gives M(-0.45, -0.45) and N(0.82, 0.82) N equations are verified. 20. Line l is the line through Points K and l. Point l is the center of Circle q. Coordinates of Point K are: xk = -(((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4 yk = (((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4 Point l is (0, (√3) – 1). The equation for a line through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by y = ((y2 – y1) x + (y1 x2 – y2 x1)) / (x2 – x1) We map Point l as (x1, y1) and Point K as (x2, y2). The equation for Line l is: y = (((((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4 – ((√3) – 1)) x + (((√3) – 1) (-(((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4))) / (-(((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4) For verification we calculate the values of the symbols in the above equation to six digits accuracy. y = (((((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4 – ((√3) – 1)) x + (((√3) – 1) (-(((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4))) / (-(((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4) y = (((0.732051 + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4 – 0.731051) x + (0.732051 (-(0.732051 + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4))) / (-(0.732051 + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4) y = (((0.732051 + √(2(5.196152 – 2)))/4 – 0.731051) x + (0.732051 (-(0.732051 + √(2(5.196152 – 2)))/4))) / (-(0.732051 + √(2(5.196152 – 2)))/4) y = (((0.732051 + √(2(3.196152)))/4 – 0.731051) x + (0.732051 (-(0.732051 + √(2(3.196152)))/4))) / (-(0.732051 + √(2(3.196152)))/4) y = (((0.732051 + √(6.392304))/4 – 0.731051) x + (0.732051 (-(0.732051 + √(6.392304))/4))) / (-(0.732051 + √(6.392304))/4) y = ((3.260352/4 – 0.731051) x + (0.732051 (-3.260352/4))) / (-3.260352/4) y = ((0.815088 – 0.731051) x + (0.732051 (-0.815088))) / (-0.815088) y = (0.084037 x + (0.732051 (-0.815088))) / (-0.815088) y = (0.084037 x + (-0.596686)) / (-0.815088) y = (0.084037 x - 0.596686) / (-0.815088) y = (0.596686 - 0.084037 x) / (0.815088) y = 0.732051 – 0.103102 x The above six-digit accuracy equation suggests that we could arrive at a simpler equation by expanding the terms. y = (((((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4 – ((√3) – 1)) x + (((√3) – 1) (-(((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4))) / (-(((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4) y = (((((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4 – ((√3) – 1))/ (-(((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4)) x + (((√3) – 1) (-(((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4)) / (-(((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4) y = (((((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4 – ((√3) – 1))/ (-(((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4)) x + ((√3) – 1) y = (((((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4 – ((√3) – 1))/ (-(((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4)) x + ((√3) – 1) Let z = (((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4. Then the equation becomes y = ((z – ((√3) – 1))/ (-z)) x + ((√3) – 1) y = ((√3) – 1) - ((z – ((√3) – 1))/ (z)) x y = ((√3) – 1) - ((1 – ((√3) – 1)/z)) x y = ((√3) – 1) - (1 – ((√3) – 1)/z) x Substituting for z, we get: y = ((√3) – 1) - (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4)) x Rechecking y = ((√3) – 1) - (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + √(2(5.196152 – 2)))/4)) x y = ((√3) – 1) - (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + √(2(3.196152)))/4)) x y = ((√3) – 1) - (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + √(6.392304))/4)) x y = ((√3) – 1) - (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + 2.528301)/4)) x y = ((√3) – 1) - (1 – ((√3) – 1)/(((1.732051 – 1) + 2.528301)/4)) x y = ((√3) – 1) - (1 – ((√3) – 1)/(((0.732051) + 2.528301)/4)) x y = ((√3) – 1) - (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((0.732051 + 2.528301)/4)) x y = ((√3) – 1) - (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((3.260352)/4)) x y = ((√3) – 1) - (1 – ((√3) – 1)/(3.260352/4)) x y = ((√3) – 1) - (1 – ((√3) – 1)/0.815088) x y = ((√3) – 1) - (1 – (1.732051 – 1)/0.815088) x y = ((√3) – 1) - (1 – (0.732051)/0.815088) x y = ((√3) – 1) - (1 – 0.898125) x y = ((√3) – 1) – 0.101875 x There is discrepancy in the coefficient for x. We review the earlier computation from the colored equation below. y = (((0.732051 + √(6.392304))/4 – 0.731051) x + (0.732051 (-(0.732051 + √(6.392304))/4))) / (-(0.732051 + √(6.392304))/4) y = (((0.732051 + 2.528301)/4 – 0.731051) x + (0.732051 (-(0.732051 + 2.528301)/4))) / (-(0.732051 + 2.528301)/4) y = (((3.260352)/4 – 0.731051) x + (0.732051 (-(0.732051 + 2.528301)/4))) / (-(0.732051 + 2.528301)/4) y = ((0.815088 – 0.731051) x + (0.732051 (-(0.732051 + 2.528301)/4))) / (-(0.732051 + 2.528301)/4) y = (0.084037 x + (0.732051 (-(0.732051 + 2.528301)/4))) / (-(0.732051 + 2.528301)/4) y = (0.084037 x + (0.732051 (-(3.260352)/4))) / (-(3.260352)/4) y = (0.084037 x + (0.732051 (-0.815088))) / (-0.815088) y = (0.084037 x + (-0.596686)) / (-0.815088) y = (0.084037 x -0.596686) / (-0.815088) y = (0.596686 - 0.084037 x ) / (0.815088) y = (0.732051 – 0.103102 x ) The discrepancy persists. Hence we retrace further. y = (((((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4 – ((√3) – 1)) x + (((√3) – 1) (-(((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4))) / (-(((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4) y = ((((0.732051) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4 – (0.732051)) x + (((√3) – 1) (-((0.732051) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4))) / (-((0.732051) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4) Comparing with the reduction performed earlier we find that the second copying of 0.732051 was typed wrongly as 0.731051 and that error was carried through. Hence the correct equation for Line l is: y = ((√3) – 1) - (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4)) x 21. Point O is a point of intersection between Circle q and Line l. The other point of intersection, Point P is of interest. The equation for Circle q is: x2 + (y - ((√3) – 1))2 = ((√3) – 1)2 y = ((√3) – 1) - (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4)) x Substituting for y in the equation for the circle, we have: x2 + (((√3) – 1) - (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4)) x - ((√3) – 1))2 = ((√3) – 1)2 Rearranging the terms shown in color we get: x2 + (((√3) – 1) - ((√3) – 1) - (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4)) x)2 = ((√3) – 1)2 As the colored terms cancel each other, we get: x2 + ( - (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4)) x)2 = ((√3) – 1)2 x2 + (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4))2 x2 = ((√3) – 1)2 (1 + (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4))2 ) x2 = ((√3) – 1)2 x2 = ((√3) – 1)2/ (1 + (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4))2 ) x = ± ((√3) – 1) / √(1 + (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4))2 ) The point of interest P has a positive X-coordinate and hence we take x = ((√3) – 1) / √(1 + (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4))2 ) Using the above value for x, the value of y is y = ((√3) – 1) - (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4)) ((√3) – 1) / √(1 + (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4))2 ) Interchanging the colored terms we get: y = ((√3) – 1) - ((√3) – 1) (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4)) / √(1 + (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4))2 ) Removing the common factor out y = ((√3) – 1) (1 - (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4)) / √(1 + (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4))2 )) Verification: x = ((√3) – 1) / √(1 + (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4))2 ) x = ((√3) – 1) / √(1 + (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + √(2(5.196152 – 2)))/4))2 ) x = ((√3) – 1) / √(1 + (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + √(6.392304))/4))2 ) x = ((√3) – 1) / √(1 + (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + 2.528301)/4))2 ) x = ((√3) – 1) / √(1 + (1 – ((√3) – 1)/(((0.732051) + 2.528301)/4))2 ) x = ((√3) – 1) / √(1 + (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((0.732051 + 2.528301)/4))2 ) x = ((√3) – 1) / √(1 + (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((3.260352)/4))2 ) x = ((√3) – 1) / √(1 + (1 – ((√3) – 1)/(0.815088))2 ) x = ((√3) – 1) / √(1 + (1 – (0.732051)/(0.815088))2 ) x = ((√3) – 1) / √(1 + (1 – 0.732051/0.815088)2 ) x = ((√3) – 1) / √(1 + (1 – 0.898125)2 ) x = ((√3) – 1) / √(1 + (0.101875)2 ) x = ((√3) – 1) / √(1 + 0.010379 ) x = ((√3) – 1) / √(1.010379 ) x = ((√3) – 1) / 1.005176 x = (0.732051) / 1.005176 x = 0.728281 y = ((√3) – 1) (1 - (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4)) / √(1 + (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4))2 )) y = ((√3) – 1) (1 - (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + √(2(5.196152 – 2)))/4)) / √(1 + (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + √(2(5.196152 – 2)))/4))2 )) y = ((√3) – 1) (1 - (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + √(2(3.196152)))/4)) / √(1 + (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + √(2(3.196152)))/4))2 )) y = ((√3) – 1) (1 - (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + √(6.392304))/4)) / √(1 + (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + √(6.392304))/4))2 )) y = ((√3) – 1) (1 - (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + 2.528301)/4)) / √(1 + (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + 2.528301)/4))2 )) y = ((√3) – 1) (1 - (1 – 0.732051/((0.732051 + 2.528301)/4)) / √(1 + (1 – 0.732051/((0.732051 + 2.528301)/4))2 )) y = ((√3) – 1) (1 - (1 – 0.732051/(3.260352/4)) / √(1 + (1 – 0.732051/(3.260352/4))2 )) y = ((√3) – 1) (1 - (1 – 0.732051/0.815088) / √(1 + (1 – 0.732051/0.815088)2 )) y = ((√3) – 1) (1 - (1 – 0.898125) / √(1 + (1 – 0.898125)2 )) y = ((√3) – 1) (1 – 0.101875 / √(1 + (0.101875)2 )) y = ((√3) – 1) (1 – 0.101875 / √(1 + 0.010379)) y = ((√3) – 1) (1 – 0.101875 / √(1.010379)) y = ((√3) – 1) (1 – 0.101875 / 1.005176) y = ((√3) – 1) (1 – 0.101350) y = ((√3) – 1) 0.89865 y = (0.732051) 0.89865 y = 0.657858 Point P is (0.728281, 0.657858) Geogebra gives O(-0.73, 0.81) and P(0.73, 0.66) The coordinates of Point P are verified. The corresponding equations are: xP = ((√3) – 1) / √(1 + (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4))2 ) yP = ((√3) – 1) (1 - (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4)) / √(1 + (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4))2 )) 22. Line m is a line through the Points P and F. Point F (0.5, (√3)/2 – 1) xF = 0.5 yF = ((√3)/2 – 1) xP = ((√3) – 1) / √(1 + (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4))2 ) yP = ((√3) – 1) (1 - (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4)) / √(1 + (1 – ((√3) – 1)/((((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4))2 )) The Point S is the point of intersection between Line m and Line n which in turn is a line joining two points, Points R and N. Since the point of solution S is the intersection of two lines connecting two points each, we prefer to derive the point of intersection of two lines one joining points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) and the other joining (x3, y3) and (x4, y4) and substitute the coordinates of points F, P, R, and N in the derived equation in step 25 to follow. 23. Point Q is the intersection in 1st quadrant between Circle q and segment g that is side GH of the square. The other point, Point R in the 2nd quadrant is of interest. The equation for Circle q is x2 + (y - ((√3) – 1))2 = ((√3) – 1)2 The side GH is y = 1. Substituting for y in the equation for circle, we get: x2 + (1 - ((√3) – 1))2 = ((√3) – 1)2 x2 = ((√3) – 1)2 - (1 - ((√3) – 1))2 x = ±√(((√3) – 1)2 - (1 - ((√3) – 1))2) Point R is in the 2nd quadrant and thus xR = - √(((√3) – 1)2 - (1 - ((√3) – 1))2) yR = 1 For verification we calculate xR. xR = - √(((√3) – 1)2 - (1 - ((√3) – 1))2) xR = - √((0.732051)2 - (1 - (0.732051))2) xR = - √((0.732051)2 - (0.267949)2) xR = - √(0.535899 – 0.071797) xR = - √(0.464102) xR = - 0.68125 Hence the Point R is (-0.68125, 1) and is as given by Geogebra. Geogebra gives Q(0.68, 1) and R(-0.68, 1) xR = - √(((√3) – 1)2 - (1 - ((√3) – 1))2) yR = 1 24. Segment n is the line joining Points R and N. Point R is (xR, yR) xR = - √(((√3) – 1)2 - (1 - ((√3) – 1))2) yR = 1 Point N is (xN, yN) xN = (((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4 yN = (((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4 As indicated in step 22 we do not derive the equation for Line n now. We derive the generic equation for Point S in step 25 and substitute the coordinate expressions of Points P, F, R, and N to get the equations for Point S. 25. Point S is the point of intersection of Segment n and Line m. The point of interest Point S is the intersection of two lines each of which are defined by two points that lie on the lines. Let us derive the equation for the coordinates of the point of intersection of line passing through points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) and another line passing through points (x3, y3) and (x4, y4) and substitute in the resulting equation the coordinate equations of points P, F, R, and N. The first line is y = ((y2 – y1) x + (y1 x2 – y2 x1)) / (x2 – x1) The second line is y = ((y4 – y3) x + (y3 x4 – y4 x3)) / (x4 – x3) Substitute for y from the second line in the equation for the first line to get ((y4 – y3) x + (y3 x4 – y4 x3)) / (x4 – x3) = ((y2 – y1) x + (y1 x2 – y2 x1)) / (x2 – x1) ((y4 – y3) x + (y3 x4 – y4 x3)) (x2 – x1) = ((y2 – y1) x + (y1 x2 – y2 x1)) (x4 – x3) Multiplying we get (y4 – y3) (x2 – x1) x + (y3 x4 – y4 x3) (x2 – x1) = (y2 – y1) (x4 – x3) x + (y1 x2 – y2 x1) (x4 – x3) Bringing the x factors on the LHS we get (y4 – y3) (x2 – x1) x - (y2 – y1) (x4 – x3) x = (y1 x2 – y2 x1) (x4 – x3) - (y3 x4 – y4 x3) (x2 – x1) ((y4 – y3) (x2 – x1) - (y2 – y1) (x4 – x3)) x = (y1 x2 – y2 x1) (x4 – x3) - (y3 x4 – y4 x3) (x2 – x1) x = ((y1 x2 – y2 x1) (x4 – x3) - (y3 x4 – y4 x3) (x2 – x1)) / ((y4 – y3) (x2 – x1) - (y2 – y1) (x4 – x3)) Substitute the above expression for x in one of the line equations to get the expression for y. From the equation for the first line, y = ((y2 – y1) x + (y1 x2 – y2 x1)) / (x2 – x1) becomes y = ((y2 – y1) (((y1 x2 – y2 x1) (x4 – x3) - (y3 x4 – y4 x3) (x2 – x1)) / ((y4 – y3) (x2 – x1) - (y2 – y1) (x4 – x3))) + (y1 x2 – y2 x1)) / (x2 – x1) Line m joins points P and F; segment n joins points R and N. The following table gives the different possibilities. Assigning point 1 automatically decides the assignment for point 2; likewise assigning point 3 automatically decides the assignment for point 4. Sl. No. Point 1 (Point 2) Point 3 (Point 4) 1 P (F) R (N) 2 P (F) N (R) 3 F (P) R (N) 4 F (P) N (R) 5 R (N) P (F) 6 R (N) F (P) 7 N (R) P (F) 8 N (R) F (P) Out of the 8 possible assignments we plan to select one by a heuristic and continue. We select the one that gives the minimum number of characters. xP has 56 characters; yP has 101 characters; xF has 3 characters; yF has 10 characters; xR has 27 characters; yR has 1 character; xN has 26 characters; and yN also has 26 characters. The expression for x has x1 3 times; y1 2 times; x2 3 times; y2 2 times; x3 3 times; y3 2 times; x4 3 times; and y4 2 times. Likewise the expression for y has x1 5 times; y1 4 times; x2 5 times; y2 4 times; x3 3 times; y3 2 times; x4 3 times; and y4 2 times. Adding the number of occurrences in expression for x and expression for y we get x1 8 times; y1 6 times; x2 8 times; y2 6 times; x3 6 times; y3 4 times; x4 6 times; and y4 4 times. When the total number of characters in the expressions for the x and y coordinates are considered we find that the ith row in the above table gives the same number of characters as the (i+1)th row in the table where I is 1, 3, 5, and 7. Thus the alternatives to be considered are reduced to the following 4. Sl. No. Point 1 (Point 2) Point 3 (Point 4) 1 P (F) R (N) 2 F (P) R (N) 3 R (N) P (F) 4 N (R) P (F) A similar reasoning indicates that the resultant number of characters would be the same between rows 1 and 2 of the above table. Likewise the number of characters would be same between rows 3 and 4. Removing rows 2 and 4 of the above table, we get just two possibilities. Sl. No. Point 1 (Point 2) Point 3 (Point 4) 1 P (F) R (N) 2 R (N) P (F) The actual number of characters for the above two possibilities are calculated in the table below. Sl. No Characters due to Total 1 xP yP (1) xF yF (2) xR yR (3) xN yN (4) 1,564 8 x 56 = 448 6 x 101 = 606 8 x 3 = 24 6 x 10 = 60 6 x 27 = 162 4 x 1 = 4 6 x 26 = 156 4 x 26 = 104 2 xR yR (1) xN yN (2) xP yP (3) xF yF (4) 1,384 8 x 27 = 216 6 x 1 = 6 8 x 26 = 208 6 x 26 = 156 6 x 56 = 336 4 x 101 = 404 6 x 3 = 18 4 x 10 = 40 There is a difference of 180 characters at the start of the expressions. However we do not know as to the number of characters that would result after simplification if any. We take the second approach of assigning Point R as Point 1, Point N as Point 2, Point P as Point 3 and Point F as Point 4 and derive the equation. x = ((y1 x2 – y2 x1) (x4 – x3) - (y3 x4 – y4 x3) (x2 – x1)) / ((y4 – y3) (x2 – x1) - (y2 – y1) (x4 – x3)) x1 = xR = (- √(((√3) – 1)2 - (1 - ((√3) – 1))2)) Substitute for x1 to get: x = ((y1 x2 – y2 (- √(((√3) – 1)2 - (1 - ((√3) – 1))2))) (x4 – x3) - (y3 x4 – y4 x3) (x2 – (- √(((√3) – 1)2 - (1 - ((√3) – 1))2)))) / ((y4 – y3) (x2 – (- √(((√3) – 1)2 - (1 - ((√3) – 1))2))) - (y2 – y1) (x4 – x3)) x = ((y1 x2 + y2 (√(((√3) – 1)2 - (1 - ((√3) – 1))2))) (x4 – x3) - (y3 x4 – y4 x3) (x2 + (√(((√3) – 1)2 - (1 - ((√3) – 1))2)))) / ((y4 – y3) (x2 + (√(((√3) – 1)2 - (1 - ((√3) – 1))2))) - (y2 – y1) (x4 – x3)) y1 = yR = 1. Substituting we get: x = ((x2 + y2 (√(((√3) – 1)2 - (1 - ((√3) – 1))2))) (x4 – x3) - (y3 x4 – y4 x3) (x2 + (√(((√3) – 1)2 - (1 - ((√3) – 1))2)))) / ((y4 – y3) (x2 + (√(((√3) – 1)2 - (1 - ((√3) – 1))2))) - (y2 – 1) (x4 – x3)) x2 = xN = (((√3) – 1) + √(2((3√3) – 2)))/4 = yN = y2.

Geogebra gives S(0.78, 0.82) 26. Circle r has center at Point B and passes through Point S. This circle is the result. 27. The area of this circle is calculated to be 4. 28. This area is recorded. The Point S to 6-digit accuracy is (0.775037, 0.820037) The square of the radius is 0.7750372 + 0.8200372 = 0.600682 + 0.672460 = 1.273142. Area of the circle is  x 1.273142 = 3.999694 Error = (4 – 3.999694)/4 x 100% = 0.00765% Accuracy = (100 – 0.00765)% = 99.99235% Earlier accuracy is 99.8% and by God’s grace the solution by Ed is more accurate. The value of radius r is of interest to us. It should be equal to 2/(√Π). From this equation we get an algebraic equation for Π.

A philosophical query: We shifted the origin of the figure identified by Ed in the hope that such a shift might produce a simpler expression. In one approach to proving the correctness of programs with loops, we identified ‘loop invariants’ which helped us to eliminate the need to identify the number of times a loop would be executed. Are we suggesting that “a geometric construction for an algebraic equation is ‘expression invariant’ of the relationship between the RHS and LHS of the algebraic equation?”
