%X This paper presents a graphical procedure for the squaring of a circle of any radius. This procedure, which is based on a novel application of the<em> involute profile</em>, when applied to a circle of arbitrary radius (using only an unmarked ruler and a compass), produced a square equal in area to the given circle, which is 50 cm<sup>2</sup>. This result was a clear demonstration that not only is the construction valid for the squaring <span style=\"white-space:nowrap;\">of a circle of any radius</span>, but it is also capable of achieving absolute results (independent of the number pi (¦Đ), in a finite number of steps), when carried out with precision.
