Abstract
In this article, we study a particular group of plane figures whose constants are listed in the Susa Mathematical Tablet No.\,3 (\textbf{SMT No.\,3}). We explain possible ways to define these figures and seek to demonstrate that the Susa scribes used complicated calculations to obtain such numbers. We also give examples of circular figures used for Elamite artifacts through which one can appreciate the significance of these figures in Elamite art.
