Kochanski's Approximation
The approximation for pi given by
In the above figure, let 
, and construct the circle centered at 
of radius 1. This intersects 
at point 
. Now construct the circle about 
with radius 1. The circles 
and 
intersect in 
, and the line 
intersects the perpendicular to 
through 
in the point 
. Now construct the point 
to be a distance 3 along 
. The line segment 
is then of length
