:content: "A rectilinear grid is an orthogonal grid where the spacing between the
gridlines does not have to be equidistant. \nAn example of such grid is logarithmic
graph paper.\n\nConsider rectilinear grids in the Cartesian coordinate system with
the following properties:\n\n- The gridlines are parallel to the axes of the Cartesian
coordinate system.\n- There are N+2 vertical and N+2 horizontal gridlines. Hence
there are (N+1) x (N+1) rectangular cells.\n- The equations of the two outer vertical
gridlines are x = -1 and x = 1.\n- The equations of the two outer horizontal gridlines
are y = -1 and y = 1.\n- The grid cells are colored red if they overlap with the
<dfn title=\"The unit circle is the circle that has radius 1 and is centered at
the origin\">unit circle</dfn>, black otherwise.\nFor this problem we would like
you to find the positions of the remaining N inner horizontal and N inner vertical
gridlines so that the area occupied by the red cells is minimized.\n\nE.g. here
is a picture of the solution for N = 10:\n\n![p392_gridlines.png]({{ images_dir

to 10 digits behind the decimal point is 3.3469640797.\n\nFind the positions for
N = 400. \n Give as your answer the area occupied by the red cells rounded to 10
digits behind the decimal point.\n\n"
