Morbus Cyclometricus
What was the name of the illness that people once thought that trying to square a circle was an illness?
The illness that people once believed was associated with the obsession of squaring the circle was referred to as "quadrature mania." This term reflected the historical fascination and frustration with the mathematical challenge of constructing a square with the same area as a given circle using only a finite number of steps with a compass and straightedge. The impossibility of this task, proven in the 19th century, led to a perception that those fixated on it might be suffering from a form of madness.
What is the Correct unit in answer when finding area of a circle?
The "correct" unit will depend on the order of magnitude of the circle that you are trying to measure. If drawn on a page, the radius is likely to be measured in inches or centimetres. In this case, the area should be given in square inches or square centimetres. But you may want more precision and measure the radius in millimetres and then the area should be in square millimetres. A circle drawn in a field may be measured in feet, yard or metres and its area would then be in square feet, sq yards or sq metres. The radius of the effective reach of a radio beacon may be measured in miles or kilometres and the area would then be in sq miles or sq km.
How do you fine the area of a you shaped figure?
Well, it depends on the area of the shape you are trying to find, if its: square: length times width triangle: base times height divided by 2 circle: 3.14 times radius squared trapezoid: base 1 plus base 2 times height divided by 2 A U shaped figure is probably half of a circle and a rectangle. The diameter of the circle is the same as the width of the rectangle.
What would you use square inches for?
You would use square inches if you were trying to measure the area of a 2D shape.

Some people became mentally deranged when trying to "square the circle". What was this illness named?
People tried for centuries to square the circle what were thay trying to do?
It is the challenge of constructing a square with the same area as a given circle by using only a finite number of steps with compass and straightedge. As pi (π) is a transcendental, rather than an algebraic irrational number, it cannot be done.

How do you convert the diameter of a circle to square ft.?
when trying to find squ. feet you have to find the area. the area of a circle is half of the diameter squared times pi half of the diamter is the radius therefore the area in squ. ft would be.. A = pi x r2
What was Ptolemy trying to explain in his model by having the planets move on smaller circle that move on bigger circle?
Ptolemy is trying to explain in his model that each circle represents 1 planet's rotation and it's a scale drawing of the distance apart from each one!
