Comments

As radians, this is equal to 135 degrees (on an analog clock, the span of 22 minutes and 30 seconds). - Alonso del Arte, Feb 03 2013

Ratio of the area of an arbelos to the area of its associated parbelos. - Jonathan Sondow, Nov 28 2013

(3*Pi/4)*a^2 is the area between a cissoid of Diocles and its asymptote when polar equation of cissoid is r = a*sin^2(t)/cos(t) and Cartesian equation is x * (x^2+y^2) = a * y^2 or y = +-x * sqrt(x/(a-x)). See the curve at the Mathcurve link and formula. - Bernard Schott, Jul 14 2020

The smallest nonnegative solution to sin(x) = -cos(x). - Wolfe Padawer, Apr 12 2023
