Squaring the circle

1) Show that, given the small semicircle on the bottom of the figure, you can construct the rest of the figure (using Plato's 3 rules and the shortcuts you have demonstrated). 2) Prove that the area of the large semicircle circle is equal to the sum of the areas of the 4 small semicircles. 3) Use this to prove that the area of the blue hexagon is equal to the sum of the areas of the 3 lunes and the remaining small semicircle

Squaring Lunes

A) Prove that the area of the large circle is equal to the sum of the areas of the 4 small semicircles. B) Use this to prove that the area of the large square is equal to the sum of the areas of the 4 lunes. In other words the area of each small square is equal to the area of a lune.
