***CORRECTION***CORRECTION***CORRECTION***

Sorry folks, I not only miscopied but confused the two formulas. Here is the way the trianglature formula should read:

Correctly stated the formula does not directly relate to area but rather gives an isosceles triangle with height of the radius and side which defines the quadrant by a true right angle. It is the quadrature formula which gives the area of a square with precisely the same as that of the given circle, i.e., sqrt (pi) times radius.

The trianglature formula is given by the equation: diameter/sqrt (2) = side of the isosceles as defining by its chord the quadrant right angle. The significance of this formula is that it defines a precise right angle, thus the vertex of the triangle giving an exacting parallax - relying of course upon the accuracy of pi.

Again, sorry for the confusion. This should set it straight.
