To see my solution, look for Algebra.com problem #237229.  In that solution the ratio of the area of the square to the area of the circle came out to <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=pi%2F4 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"pi%2F4\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >.
