From the centre C describe a circle AB, having the required diameter; then place the corner of the square at the centre C, and draw the lines CD and CE; then draw the chord DE : three times the diameter added to the distance from the middle of the chord DFE to the middle of the subtending arc DGE, will be the circumference sought.
