an interesting idea. although you obviously meant a circle of AREA 2, not radius 2. how would you measure how good the approximation is? the smallest inradius of the two sets of rearranged pieces? the largest circumradius of the two sets of rearranged pieces? the minimum area of overlap of a unit disk with these sets? erich
Does anyone know of work that's been done on approximate dissection and recomposition of disks? For instance, dividing a disk of radius 2 into pieces and then rearranging the pieces to form an approximation to two discs of radius 1?
