Abstract

The article focuses on three approximate constructions of an angle of 1 radians. Topics covered include a generalised Lindemann theorem to demonstrate the construction of an angle of 1 radian, the approximate construction achieved by paper-folding, starting with the A4-sized sheet of paper, and the right-angled triangle OBG which is the heart of the construction.
