WORK RELATED TO THE QUADRATURE OF THE CIRCLE VIA INTERPRETING PLATO'S TIMAEUS " MOST BEAUTIFUL TRIANGLE" This work, presented to various conferences, is a proposed interpretation of Plato's Timaeus Scalene Orthogonal Triangle by Panagiotis Stefanides. It is noted here that, a similar, constituent part of this triangle but not the same, is the Kepler triangle discovered by Magirus . Quadrature of the circle by compass and ruler is achieved based on the special quality of this triangle [ a quadrature triangle] and its relationship with circle, the parallelogramme and the square. Autocad used: Geometry and Vector definitdefinition by Panagiotis Stefanides assisted for the Computerized AutoCad Drawing by Dr. Giannis Kandylas
