On what kind of surface would a square wheel function the same as a round wheel?

(In reply to Googled by TomM)

Well TomM, that information that you found is great, but let me remind you that a catenary is the hyperbolic cosine of a distance X (cosh(X)), and also the hyperbolic cosine of X is ((e^X)/2)+((e^-X)/2), and if you would remember, any sine function or cosine function may be expresed in therms of Euler's constant e elevated at some value iX, jY. Of course that the solution to the problem in some form would be in therms of a hyperbolic cosine (catenary), but that is just another form of representing the surface. Thanks for showing another form of resolving this problem TomM.
