The left diagram above shows two concentric circles with radii R and r, R > r > 0. In
the annulus between these circles n unit squares are arranged. One diagonal of each
square lies on a radius of the larger circle, and the two circles intersect each square
at the two vertices at the ends of this diagonal. Each square subtends an angle of 2θ
at the common centre of the circles. Each adjacent pair of squares intersect precisely
once at a common vertex. The case n = 17 is shown completed to the right.
