<p style="margin:12px;">Historically, Euclidean geometry has provided a framework for understanding and describing the physical world. It is based on axioms and postulates, leading to well-defined formulas for the calculation of areas and volumes of shapes such as circles and spheres.

The concept of setting the square and the cube as the basis of the area and the volume calculation is well established and straightforward. Regardless of the shape of the measured object, the unit of measurement of the area is square units and the volume can be expressed as cubic units.

In the case of the area of a triangle, it is an easy task because multiplying the base by the height gives a rectangle with an area exactly the double of the triangle. The square root of half of the area of the rectangle is the side length of the theoretical square that has the same area as the triangle.

His approach was that the ratio between the perimeter and the diameter of a circle can be estimated by comparing the circumference of the circle to the perimeters of an inscribed and a circumscribed polygon.

The polygons can be divided into triangles. The ratio between the legs of the triangles and their hypotenuses can be measured linearly.

This method has several limitations. He tried to increase the accuracy by increasing the number of sides of the polygons. This approach cannot produce an accurate result.
