The idea is that the area of the circle equals the area of the square. Looking for the ratio between the length of the side, I could denote the side of the square as 1, and compare the radius to that, or denote the radius as 1 and express the side compared to that.

I denoted the radius as 1 and the side as sqrt(π) (sqrt(π*1^2)). It's a logical necessity if the A=πr^2 formula was right. The side length of the square that has the same area as the circle is sqrt(area of the circle). "

The equation holds true, meaning that the overlaps cancel out the unfilled area, so the area of the circle equals the area of the square with side=r*sqrt(π)."

This means that the radius is shorter than it should logically be -one-.

That's a logical error in the A=πr^2 formula; not the model.
