I need to find a close approximation of pi using a square inside a circle

OpenStudy (freckles):

|dw:1441563708086:dw| well you could say \[\text{ small square area }<\text{ circle area } < \text{ big square area }\] |dw:1441563787054:dw| |dw:1441563837206:dw| so you have: \[r^2 <\text{ circle area} <R^2 \\ \text{ hmmm... circle area} \approx \frac{R^2+r^2}{2}\]
