Dinostratus' theorem

The theorem is named after the Greek mathematician Dinostratus who proved it around 350 BC when he attempted to square the circle himself. The theorem states that Hippias' trisectrix divides one of the sides of its associated square in a ratio of 2 : π . Arbitrary points on Hippias' trisectrix itself however
