Geometric and trigonometric characterization of the Dottie number (ԃ) View project
All content following this page was uploaded by Ricardo Armando Pabon Pinilla on 14 December 2017.
The Dottie number is the unique real root of cos(x)=x. This constant is closely related to pi and
the unit circle as will be shown below.

5. What is the area of the unit circle?
Knowing that the area of the rectangular region in de figure is 2ԃ and
∞
𝜋 22𝑛(𝑛!)2
− ԃ = sin(ԃ) ∑ (ԃ)2𝑛+1
2 (2𝑛 + 1)!
𝑛=0
then
∞
(𝑛!)2
𝜋 = 2ԃ + sin(2ԃ) ∑ (2ԃ)2𝑛
(2𝑛 + 1)!
𝑛=0
Since the area of the unit circle is 𝜋, the above result is an expression of the area of the unit circle and the area of the circular segments
left by the rectangle is

(𝑛!)2
𝐴𝑠 = sin(2ԃ) ∑ (2ԃ)2𝑛
