If you need your mathematical data, try AndrewC’s prior post # 816:

That the circle could not be squared with Euclidean tools was not shown until 1882 when Lindemann proved that pi is a transcendental number.

You are aware that AndrewC's post deals with "squaring of a circle with compass and straight-edge", a famous "problem of Antiquity" in Mathematics.

It has absolutely nothing to do with the question you posted: can a square be perfectly circular and still be a square?

Do you have a refutation to my example yet?
