Dear John. There are many ways to square a circle. You can tie a string around a circle. Remove it and square it up. However, this is not an allowable construction in Euclidian geometry.

Translations In mathematics, the logarithm of a given number to a given base is the power or exponent to which the base must be raised in order to produce the given number. For example, the logarithm of 1000 to the common base 10 is 3, because 10 raised to the power of 3 is 1000; the base 2 logarithm of 32 is 5 becau...
