Squaring the circle is a problem in geometry first proposed in Greek mathematics.It is the challenge of constructing a square with the area of a given circle by using only a finite number of steps with a compass and straightedge.
Squared circle may refer to: Boxing ring; Wrestling ring; Squared-circle postmark; Square Circle Production, a magic trick; Squared circle, an alchemical symbol ...
Tarski's circle-squaring problem is the challenge, posed by Alfred Tarski in 1925, to take a disc in the plane, cut it into finitely many pieces, and reassemble the pieces so as to get a square of equal area.
A wrestling ring, also known as the squared circle, is the stage on which a professional wrestling match usually occurs. It is similarly constructed to a boxing ring and is traditionally square -shaped.
Sydney Thomas, also known as “Viral Ring Girl” after being thrust into the spotlight after appearing at the Jake Paul–Mike Tyson fight last month, is returning to the squared circle. Thomas ...

The lune of Hippocrates was the first curved figure to have its exact area calculated mathematically.. Greek mathematicians understood the determination of an area of a figure as the process of geometrically constructing a square having the same area (squaring), thus the name quadrature for this process.
A boxing ring, often referred to simply as a ring or the squared circle, is the space in which a boxing match occurs. A modern ring consists of a square raised platform with a post at each corner. Four ropes are attached to the posts and pulled parallel under tension with turnbuckles to form the boundary of the competition area.
