A given circle with area A = 1 has a radius = 1/sqrt(pi). In this case there exist a square with the sides of length = 1 which has an area equal to 1. This problem is referred as a "squaring the circle". Due to the "irrational" and "transcendental" nature of number pi , squaring of circle is not possible to be constructed only by ruler and compass. However, I've read in an old mathematical book, that a construction is possible only in case when circle area A=1, without any further explanation given. Is there any one who can support this claim?
