Maybe that doesn't sound very scientific at first, but somehow I instantly realized that it is the only way.

Then I worked out the relationship between the radius and the side of the square algebraically via the Pythagorean theorem.

The result is that the area of a circle is exactly 3.2radius².
The subject of the sphere experiment was a standard golf ball. That is not a perfect sphere because there are dimples on its surface. That can be compensated by calculating with a slightly shorter radius.

The measuring bottle had a nominal volume of 4 cl (40 ml ~ 4 / 3 US ounce). That is not perfectly precise either because the nominal volume indicates the guaranteed amount of the fluid in it in commerce. They come with an air gap atop the fluid so the total capacity of the bottle is somewhat larger.

<pstyle="margin:12px" itemrel="description">The second sphere experiment was done with the same ball and a nominal 5 ml syringe. The nominal volume of a syringe should be its real volume. However, I have measured its length and width to make sure and I found that its real volume is about 10% larger. I took that into account in the calculations.
